I can take it. :)  I'm known for my straight shooting, and yes, there 
are times some of those shots went into my own foot.  I then, of course 
stuck that foot in my mouth...

Just the same, Jonathan has summed it up well I think.  I just don't 
like training organizations that don't do it right.  This appears to me 
to be such a case.  When I was with AT&T, I got close to a month of 
training each year.  I learned real quickly that not all training 
organizations are the same.

I personally don't see this a reflection of ALE, maybe me, but hey, I'm 
okay with that.

Now as far as the presid,,, err, never mind...
