An update on Certfirst – the PostgreSQL training company
Mike Joyce | May 29, 2009UPDATE! CertFirst posts fake comments on this blog claiming to be real customers!!! http://obstinate.org/journal/certfirst-and-saifirst-another-frontal-attack-by-sonia-soni/
As you may have read prior here. I attended a training seminar hosted by Certfirst / SaiFirst – a company that among other things, trains in PostgreSQL. I posted a full, and accurate review of the course prior on my site, which can be located here:

The company I was working for was in negotiations with Certfirst in order to organize a refund. Certfirst located my original posting and demanded that what I had said was libelous and insisted on me removing my posting of my personal opinion, on my personal website, in order for them to agree to a refund on a failure to deliver services.
Certfirst and the company I was working for agreed, and asked me politely to take down my posting. In the effort of avoiding drama. I did such that.
However, I no longer work at said company and I am no longer obligated to keep my opinions off of the internets. As such – let this be a reminder to avoid the usage of Certfirst in any engagement at all costs. They failed to deliver on expectations set. So again, avoid doing business with them at all costs!
DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THIS GUY COMMENTS ABOUT CERTFIRST.
Souchon B. | December 14, 2009DON’T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THIS GUY COMMENTS ABOUT CERTFIRST. CERTFIRST IS ONE OF THE BEST IT TRAINING PROVIDERS IN THE US. HE GOT PAID BY A COMPETITOR TO TALK BAD ABOUT CERTFIRST. HE IS A LIAR!!!!!!!
Dearest Souchon! Here's the problem with posting comments, they should
Mike Joyce | March 9, 2010Dearest Souchon!
Here’s the problem with posting comments, they should be real. When you post lots of times from the same computer, people notice.
Additionally, when you are working for the company that I am slighting, use an internet cafe, proxies, friends, or carrier pigeons to post comments, not the companies computers!
Furthermore, don’t be the only person posting comments. My site isn’t as popular as you think, when 50% of the comments on my website are about this one post, and they all come from the same IP address, it’s a bit suspect. A full investigation here:
