That's not the point. As a paid trainer, you shouldn't make assumptions 
about your trainees. As we're not paid here, it's very much okay to
make assumptions.

No, I don't realise that, as it's wrong. I'm not paid for anything, so
I do what *I* want (more or less). If there wouldn't have been those
complaints (which were wrong, IMO), than this sub-thread wouldn't
