EOL's

Ah ha! Thanks.

Hi Al,

Happy P-day. I'm doing much better now that I'm in Houston and out of Chicago - brrr.

Have fun,

Mike

What's he got his balls all tied in a knot over this time? Al, you're not going to sucked in by all this and write about his operation, are you? There's no such thing as bad publicity, you know, he'll profit.

yer mother wears army boots or something like that

That's funny, I've given magnetic contacts a few taps with the end of a screwdriver and had them start working again (They got replaced anyway)....

That hasn't been my experience, I've had to replace EOLR's that were toast and the panel was just fine...

Hmmm..... I've always been told, "There is no way to predict how Lightning will or won't behave"... There have been cases were the Grounding electrodes provided the path for the Lightning to enter into the building's electrical system...

Nope, not wasting my time with him. No matter what you say, he turns it all around. I don't believe I've ever run into anyone quite like him, other then when I use to do work for that fire detection/suppression company I mentioned, back in the 80s. We use to do a lot of work in a facility in Massillon, Ohio. I think they called it Massillon State Hospital. Oh, now he'll make some snide remark about it I'm sure.

I've held my tongue on this bloody fellow for a long time. You all know that.

Norm,

Hey there! Perhaps this is his way of initiating me back into the fold? :-) It sounds like all of you have had a taste of his harassment at one time or another?

Al

Good to hear from you. Thanks for sending me that banner. It's up now on the

This is getting ridiculous, but I couldn't resist making the comments below...

Everyone I know considers personal attacks to be a Cheap shot...

I hate to ask, How do you know that?

Cheap shot #2...

Isn't Nutone still in business? you'd think they'd be gone by now...

Purchasing & drop shipping from Low Voltage distributors is not what I'd call having a relationship with the major manufacturers... ADT, P1, and Brinks have nice relationships with the manufacturers, small alarm dealers and E-tailers are just a name and a number...

Cheap shot #3

Cheap shot #4 ....... Oh hey, looks like there's an opening... So Robert, when are we going to start seeing your articles in SDM???

Cheap shot #5...

Cheap shot #6...

Sounds like another guy that posts here... He had a successful company with its own central station monitoring thousands of accounts in CT.... Then for some reason, he sold it, moved to Florida and opened a website that sells alarm parts to DIYers... Hmmm, go figure that one... Are these guys losers, or did they make their money, and now spend their time doing what they like to do???

RUDE........ And a Cheap, ah never mind, I think you get my point about some of your comments.............

Actually it was you who tried to turn it around, Al. When you realized you'd blundered about tolerance, you tried to change what I said into something else.

Hanging around this newsgroup you're not likely to either.

And your comment above wasn't snide?

Kindly remove your tongue at once. That is disgusting. :^)

BTW, what was that you said about being finished with this thread several posts back?

Oh, is *that* what you call it?

So have I.

That hasn't been my experience. I remember being called in to service a fire alarm panel. An exterior bell had taken damage from a lightning strike on a fence adjacent to it. The green light on the FACP was "on", no troubles showing. Yet you couldn't get the sucker to alarm or respond to opens for anything. When you look closer, the only thing that wasn't "fried" on the mother board was the freekin' Power ON LED.

Dang. Now you've gone and done it. You've disagreed with something the Guru's said. Now you will face the WOG (Wrath Of the Guru). You will then experience ABSI (Attack By Subtle Innuendo) and this will escalate quickly to wild stories about how you piloted a Boeing Passenger Jet-Liner while you were inverted (or while you were standing up and the plane was inverted or while you were sitting down and the stewardesses were inverted - anyway while *something* was inverted or diverted or reverted).

And quit posting his "tagline" when you respond!!!

And Bass continues making friends everywhere he goes.

Hmmmmm, you've got my attention now Frankie...... :-))

Robert has proven himself to be quite the clown, has he not? He's certainly the life of the party.

Bass couldn't be the life of the party in a graveyard. The jackass exists for no other reason than to annoy people. Like I said a few weeks ago, it's your turn on the Bassomatic, Al.

Now some excuse to mister Columbo would be a nice thing,but even a better thing....shut the f*ck off...............

Thank you for taking the time to post this link. It baffles me why Robert jumped off the edge on this one, but he does have a habit of doing that from what I've seen here on this news group. No apology will be forthcoming as none usually is when he does something like this. I really don't have to hear one either because I don't really care.

Again, thanks for the great resource on resistors. I may use this information in an upcoming SSI story. I'm deciding whether to use Robert's comments as a counterpoint to my own :-). Maybe we'll get him some national exposure in a print medium yet! What do you guys think, would you like to see Robert's quotes in print? I'm permitted to do this simply because it's a public media where there is no expectation of privacy or confidentiality. Comments??
