Re: Current Index of SANS GSEC Materials?

I would have to disagree with this sentiment that came from several  
people.  I fail to see how producing and then formatting a set of  
pairs of terms and page(book) numbers enhances learning.  A good book  
already has an index, they don't say "make your own to really know  
this material."

Having built an index won't help me understand the concepts in the  
slightest, it will just waste time finding those term-page pairs in  
the texts.  Even with such an index I would fail the test if I did not  
understand how to apply the material.  Just knowing the page it is on  
will not help with answering the question.

Would I need to self-index any other texts I have around to help with  
the test?  Should I have to prepare my own index to my TCP/IP book

http://www.amazon.com/TCP-Guide-Comprehensive-Illustrated-Protocols/dp/159327047X/

to prove that I really know TCP/IP?  That would not be bright.

Of course people are free to disagree with me, but if you do so please  
compile a more compelling argument that shows how learning the  
term-page number pairs really helps understand the material.  Also not  
how taking the time to format that in an effective manner helps in the  
slightest.

In fact, having an electronic copy of the materials would make this  
whole exercise moot.  I would still have to know what to look for, but  
I would be focused on the material, not the search.
