Re: OT: Rumor Control: Major CCIE RS Changes - Do or Do Not

I'm in the process of changing e-mail clients.... I keep forgetting to

Outlook pissed me off one too many times, so I'm working with
Thunderbird at the moment.

So nothing's missing, just a brain-fart on my end! (Happens when you
get old!)
