i am part I. No status change so far:)

Folks,please,do not post anything unconfirmed here! A friend of mine nearly had a nervous breakdown until i did research of my own and pointed out the list is old and irrelevant..

Yes, I received it, too, and so does everyone else, I guess. It is a standard procedure, they send to everyone on the list, I suppose.

Ok, a bit off-topic but it really amazes me how active folks in this thread are.. looks like we (FRM Level I) have long given up :)
