Imagine if Linus or the Linux kernel guys tried to standardize Linux
training --- it would be a mess.

Also, though lots of people want training, seems that want _free_
training.  They aren't flooding my Atlanta classes, that's for sure.  I
give classes at many conferences around the world too, and I get usually
20-40 people --- not exactly a flood either.  Maybe they want me to come
to their house?  :-)  Tell me what your wife is cooking for dinner
before I decide.  :-)
