That's great that it works for you - and I don't think anyone is suggesting it's a bait and switch (I tried to be very careful with the post's wording). My point in this thread isn't that it's duplicitous - more that it's not free.

I'm sure you guys had to work some licensing (which probably came under an agreement to enroll in another program). This isn't free - it's an engagement. If you left the program you would have to pay, I'm sure.

And if it works for you - that's good stuff. I'd be very interested in reading about your choices and why you went this route.
