dude....   Those sounds like words that are coming from someone that tried
to pass a SANS exam but failed....or someone that thought they could get a
job working for SANS but wasn't accepted....  I'm not saying this happened
to you, but there is much emotion in your reply.
   What SANS course are you basing this on?  Did you take any SANS courses?
What would you suggest as more ethical than SANS?  A vendor given course
like Foundstone (McAfee now)?

  Just curious....
