    I'm curious, from my location the Security Associates Institute times
    out and can't be reached, so what does ESA stand for? I have
    searched Google, et. al and have turned up:

    Educational Staff Associate
    Exercise Safety Association
    Ecological Society of America
    Environmental Site Assessment

    and a slew of others, but nothing obviously related to data security.

    I'm not knocking the training since I can't reach the site and
    actually read/learn about it, but I'm just wondering how many
    "standard" certifications there are and at what point adding initials
    to one's name reaches the border of the ridiculous (and yes, I put
    initials after my name as well...).

The real difficulty, the difficulty which has baffled the sages of all
times, is rather this: how can we make our teaching so potent in the
emotional life of man, that its influence should withstand the
pressure of the elemental psychic forces in the individual?
