Re: CISSP without experience

On a related note,

How helpful are the seminars/"official" books etc?  Reading through
the site, it seems like they attempt to charge you at every turn which
can be expensive if your company doesn't sponsor it.

On an unrelated note,

When replying to the various SF lists, is there a way to prevent the
bombardment of Out of Office replies I receive back?
