While you  may have posted your recent message to si-list with 
intentions of letting all know the existance of available SI training 
opportunities, it really comes across as self serving commercialism 
which is and always has been discouraged on si-list.

There are several other consultants and companies who are subscribers 
and regular contributors to si-list who also from time to time put on 
training seminars but have not posted advertisements to the list. By  
following the list rules against commercial advertising those 
individuals and companies are put at a competitive disadvantage when 
someone chooses to violate the no-advertising rule and spray the list 
with their ad. It makes for an uneven playing field. This same rule 
applies to all commercial endeavors (CAD tool vendors, consultants, 
etc., not just training seminars).

I just wanted to remind all who may have the intention to post their own 
ads to the list (since someone else did it) that commercial advertising 
isn't appropriate message traffic on si-list.

Using training seminars as an example, if you feel that your course 
content directly contributes to an ongoing message thread, perhaps you 
could have framed it  as such and simply provided a pointer to your web 
site for further details as opposed to a full blown ad on the list.
