<div dir="ltr">Thank you so much for the congratulations and appreciation! So far no one has mentioned that it helped them get associated, or if they already were, so I'm not too sure if this was a valuable guide or not. I'm afraid I might be the only knucklehead who earned his CCIE, promptly set it on a shelf, and didn't put it to work for me. </div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Sep 23, 2019 at 6:38 PM Peter Slow <<a href="mailto:peter.slow@gmail.com">peter.slow@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><div dir="auto">Anthony, </div><div dir="auto"> Congratulations 🎈🎉 on your fifth IE anniversary!
