[Cisspstudy] Best Accounting Firm of 2009 - Ernst and Young LLP

Sun Nov 29 23:58:55 EST 2009

Good day Leif,

No CISSP were harmed in the process.

Yes I do know Prakash for a long time and he has been a steady contributor
to CCCure and my other portals when most of the people quickly vanishes away
in the night after certification.

THANKS A WHOLE LOT AND CONGRATULATION!!!!

Your summary is great and realistic.  What you put in is what you get out,
just like a good old computer:  Garbage In, Garbage out.

Thanks for sharing your study path will all.

As far as the archive are concerned, you can access the mailing list archive
at:

Thanks a lot

Clement

P.S. You could have saved some money by buying your quiz questions from
CCCure :-).  See:
