Why do questions in Windows & .Net magazine ask Dr. Bob end up on Techrepublic technical Q&A???

Why do questions taken almost directly from the Microsoft Press Self Paced Training Kits for exams 70-210, 70-215,70-216, 70-218 AND CCNA all in one exam 801 end up on Techrepublic Q&A?

I'll add in the exams for Exchange Server AND ISA server as well.

Most of the time I chuckle and want to write " hell just read the damn answers at the end of the books".

IMHO because of this I view Techrepublic's Technical Q&A forum more of a certification test questions forum than a true Q&A that people can ask for help when stumped.

Maybel I'll start answering with "Read the answer at the end of book you took the question from".

on the horizon?? aw Oz! D.R TCGs is D.R The Corporate Groups shortened the name.....lol

I've noticed this LONG time ago just never thought of posting something in the discussions board which is why I could care less about points and such. Since most questions are textbook crap I like to throw in off the wall crap simply because its a joke to ask textbook question on a forum. demeans the purpose in my opinion.

This could be a little bit tricky and dangerous.

If we are sure that a question is a fishing expedition, or a homework assignment, we could start posting answers that are pure nonsense.

Or, we could post the correct answer to a totally different question.

well posting a answer to a completely different question is what I normally do and damn if I didn't get tons of rejected answers. Doesn't really bother me the % accepted vs the % rejected. I just dislike plagerism .

I like your idea of posting a nonsense answer. maybe they will get the point.
