Not in the least.  I just know a scam and a waste of time/money when I see one.

Bottom line is... and you can ignore the SANS instructor/SANS
zealot post...

SANS = SHIT.

Now that I am in a position with my employer to hire and fire
people... I will not even consider an applicant who touts his SANS
certification as something to be proud of or something to make him
more skilled than the next.

And, now that I am in a senior position at my employer, I am doing
everything I can to stop my employer from paying the EXTORTION fees to
SANS in order to be a part of their what works program and any of
their training.

You know what makes me smile everyday... the knowledge in knowing that
I am not the only senior infosec person at a major corporation who
feels this way about SANS.

Fuck SANS.  FUCK EM ALL!

a few respectable names in their roster[1]; i wonder why they don't
name the instructor giving each presentation on their conference
schedule[2]...

i have a theory: the more legitimately skilled you are, the less you
instruct and the more you are paid.  a nice way to convert reputation
into ca$h!
