Interesting. This coming from the "premier" fast-buck artist in Usenet. What is it now? *Four* websites all selling the same product? Fifteen (and rising) complaints at the Better Business Bureau in the last three years? I don't think Tom (or anyone else from the group you frequently denigrate) sells product he neither endorses, recommends, or supports, yet here you are telling us that "DSC is crap" while at the same time extolling it's virtues on the home page of home-automation.us.com.
You are right on one count though. You do make this a "carnival midway" full of "kicks and giggles". I particularly like the link to your "home-automation" guest book. Reading that is definitely worth the "price of admission".
Before you "start" slinging mud around the group again, how about explaining how you "worked in the trade" for three years without an L-6, and a further six years without an L-5 (in CT)? How many systems did you actually install *without* a permit? As to your equally ludicrous claim to having opened a "modestly successful central station alarm company" in 1979 with no experience and no customer base, well... enough said! "29 years in the industry"... Right!
Actually I'm pretty darn happy that you're no longer in the trade. You must feel pretty "safe" posting this kinda crap all the way from Brazil though, eh?
