[CCCure CISSP] I passed....

[Clement Dupuis]

Good day my friend,

WOW, thank you so much for sharing your study plan with us and giving
everyone such great tips for the exam.  As I was reading your post I could
also feel the excitement, this is a great post.

Now do take the time to celebrate and reward yourself for your great work.

As I always like to mention:  CCCure is twelve years of work by myself, my
wife, and my brother.  Every week we spend on average 25 to 30 hours doing
maintenance, responding to email, creating content, and fixing little glitch
here and there.  This is nothing compare to the contribution that the
community has made to help us.  It is really a community driven website and
I welcome anyone on this list to contribute as well.

There are days when I tell myself that I am going to close the site and be
done with it.  However, emails like this one entice me to continue longer.

Best regards to all

Clement
