I am not affiliated to lynusacademy in anyway, nor I have taken

course from them. I was just interacting with the lynsacademy staff
at
MIT and found that they know what they are saying, they are not
bookworms. And the Synopsis of course materials are of high standard.
What I have said is my personal views.

OK. Let us take a sample synopsis from their website:

"LA102 Linux System Administration course is specifically designed to
rapidly train on skills required for administering a Linux Server.
This course focus on the advance level of Linux Administration,
through it starts from the basis. It provides training from
fundamental concepts with hand on session and emphasis on
administration through shell command."
Would you care to explain what exactly is of a high standard in this
drivel? Not even the spelling, idioms or grammar.

Well I don't know whether spelling, idioms or grammer is helping you in
linux administration. If you are interested in that I think you should
have asked about the English teaching academy rather than talking linux
teaching. Each one has different options, what I have said is my
personel opinion. If you want take it, take it or else forget about it.

If the people who are going to train me cannot communicate (in English)
well how can they train me well?

I am not here to do a propaganda for any teaching center. I just
found they are good so I have said when someone had asked. If you much
interested to know more about them you better do a research on them and
then post it in the list. Personally I dont have any time or interested
in doing that, if you have time and interested your are welcome to do
that. I have no problem.

appreciate it if you could post a summary of your interaction with
this so-called academy at MIT,

I not employed by to you to post the summary on your request, if you
have so much interested in knowing about it, you should have come to
MIT
and get the information you wanted rather than asking someone to post
it
for you.

Well. You said that they are good. Fine. Someone finds some reasons to
need additional data to support that statement of yours. So the
person(s)
is asking for such a summary. When you make a recommendation in a
public list, your basis for making the recommendation is a legitimate
subject for any query.

Your response is showing an unnecessary amount of irritation and
aggression for a fairly pointed and justified query. Of course you can
choose respond in any way you want to but <<in my opinion>> you
have ended up damaging two things:

1. The image of the place you were recommending
2. Your credibility as a reasonable professional.

[more content snipped]

If you believe that the level of info asked for is unreasonable,
a simple statement to that effect is sufficient. After all this is a
linux-related list. People tend to hold strong views about how it
should be learnt and taught. And there is an unstated but quite
unambiguous attitude among us to hold anything affecting our
values to intense scrutiny. If such scrutiny puts unacceptable
demands on you, say so, preferably politely.
