FWIW, as Johan explicitly say he _personally_ can live with it, let me 
also say I find this being ok, even though it feels a bit weird when 
RIPE NCC is competing on the market with a price we can not beat.

So, don't come too often ;-)

That said, totally in the world, I think there is not enough people 
teaching DNS. Or rather, there are enormous number of people which 
_should_ take a training course.
