Re: OT (Hint: maybe on-topic if you need to need help)

Ernest,

Whatever you do... don't ever tell anyone that has multi-CCIE's about
something wrong on their gear....

Just don't ever do that... some people have lots of EGO, but absolutely no
humility -even when you just try to be humble and helpful...

The kind of response I got was uncalled for... and if I ever have to post
it... it's no wonder things are going badly a company that treats loyal
customers like that.

That's really uncalled for.
