You were being helped, but you are too arrogant to notice it. If you
cannot find the answer to such a simple question without resorting to
newsgroups, you are not someone I'd ever hire. (Yeah, yeah, I know --
you'd never work for someone like me...)

No problem here... just think it is silly to ask for definitive answers
here when the proper source is known.

Most people ask these types of simpilton questions on newsgroups to show
off and to stroke their own egos... Asking questions when one already
knows the source to turn to is nothing more than basically boasting to
the world that you want to become a CISSP... if you already knew the
CISSP qualification requirements in as much detail as you wrote, then
you already knew where to look for the answer to your question.
