OK, for some unfathomable reason Kate *likes* this ...
Those of you who have got your certs, and found your way onto the CISSPforum,
will know that I am known for starting up lots of cissp- lists. Some of the
lists are
serious (like cissp-ethics) (which gets pretty much zero traffic [Sigh]), some
are
semi-serious (like cissp-fiction, for discussion of fictional books with a
technical
theme or content), and some are completely off the wall
(cissp-bad-puns-and-evil-punsters-forum@yahoogroups.com
cissp-pointless-discussions@yahoogroups.com
cissp-why-not-create-new-subgroups@yahoogroups.com). What is less well
known is that I also create lists for a number of the courses that I teach,
where the
local groups don't have a lot of resources for CISSP study. I get a number of
people trying to join a number of the groups, stating that they are studying
for the
cert. I've been sending most of the people who are looking for cissp study
advice
over to CISSP-Discuss, but some of us were talking about the real yahoos, and
I've
started up cissp-wannabe. This is *not* meant as competition to CISSP-Discuss
or any of the other real study groups: it's semi-serious but mostly a joke.
Anyway,
fyi, here is the data on it:
cissp-wannabe · Desparate to be a CISSP?
Looking for a group to get started on preparing for your CISSP? Then you
probably want to join CISSP-Discuss. Just want to bitch about how CISSPs are a
bunch of elitist snobs and don't know anything about how to keep their machines
from being 0wned? This is your group. Rant, study, form other groups. Go for it.

So far, cissp-wannabe is completely unmoderated: anyone can join, and anyone
can post. (That may change if it turns out that the group does, in fact, have
some
valid purpose.)
