I could not agree more. While the folks at INE certainly (as well as other vendors) use certification as a source of income, I think that most of us can see that the majority of the vendors on this list really enjoy teaching and take pride in their offerings and want to help out. They have a clear passion for teaching and want to do it for a living. I appreciate their postings and help and will certainly take some of their 'spams' in stride :)
Keep up the great work on the course work, etc.!
Andre

I was thinking the same thing. Also, I have seen many questions posted about training.
We get all kinds of great help for free, not worth worrying about a post that you may not like.

I find your response somewhat humorous. Since I have been monitoring this list, I have noted a very large number of responses from many of the instructors of various training companies in regards to assisting many CCIE candidates. Not only that but I have noticed that they do so without any motives other than sharing their knowledge with us so that we may obtain the CCIE certification. Never once have I noted anyone complaining that Scott Morris or Narbik or Anthony Sequioa or the numerous people from IP Expert (both instructors and support engineers) are spamming when they respond to the many technical questions. Lets face it, at the end of the day, these guys do make their living from the products & services that the respective companies provide. So if from time to time, any of these companies that have active contributors to this site want to not only announce some new products or services AND on top of that offer GS members a discount that I say let them do so.
At least I find Brian's email far more beneficial than a bunch of people arguing over salary or the vailidity of the certification or many of the other useless threads.
My 2 cents......

Thanks for not only spamming one list but across multiple lists with your crappy advertisement.

Hi all,
As some of you may have heard, Internetwork Expert (INE) just released a CCNP Class-on-Demand video series that covers all the latest BSCI, BCMSN, ISCW, and ONT exams.
The class was written by myself, and my colleague Brian Dennis, 5xCCIE #2210 (R&S, ISP Dial, Security, Service Provider, Voice), and is delivered primarily by me. The key difference between our Class-on-Demand and other products is that I show a lot of live IOS command line and SDM GUI examples of how to configure, verify, and troubleshoot the technologies covered on the exams. The idea is that since I talk about how the networking technologies work in real-world design scenarios, and show the practical side, you're able to really understand them better vs. just reading an exam cert guide or brain dumps.
We are going to be running a special discount promotion for groupstudy members to celebrate the release, as this is the first time we are getting into the Professional level certification space. Please feel free to contact me directly via email at bmcgahan_at_ine.com with any comments, flames, or trolling requests ;)
Good luck in your continued studies!
