What rubbish! I don't care if your daughter is a nurse or your wife is the weatherman. That has nothing to do with your refusal to bring your company into compliance with UL standards, let alone to get a proper UL listing. Just because you don't (or can't) comply with proper installation standards that doesn't
Quit trying to pass the buck. Either get your act together or stop attacking those who make the standards because you can't.
I always like that line. It started with me saying that any primate can install an alarm. The idiot from Waco responded that he didn't like it when I called him a primate. Heh, heh, heh. Like you, he obviously didn't realize that h*mo sapiens is a primate.
The fun part was explaining to Morgan that I didn't consider him a primate. The moron thought I was complimenting him. Heh, heh, heh.
Uh-huh. Sure.
choose to adhere to the standards and to uphold those standards by paying their dues.
municipality this issue is present, you would realize the comments you are making are unfounded.
Oh, really? Where's your UL cert???
More like a brick.
those very standards.
UL is just one choice...
Where's your FM cert??? Oops! You have nothing. You're not listed with *any* third party verifier. Nice try. Care to play again?
USA., you **must** buy from ADI.
Ah, but that's not the situation. They're only saying that the system must be certified by a third party (such as UL). Your problem is you're not listed with anyone at all. That's why you're losing fire alarm sales. The ironic part is that without needing a license or certification at all, I can sell system that you can't touch. Isn't that nice?
to be on their prefered list...
Didn't make the list with any of them, eh?
That's not even close to restraint of trade. The inspectors only want to make sure companies that install and service fire alarms do a good job. If you're unable to meet the standards that are being established that's your problem. And if that means people have to buy their commercial fire alarm systems from more reputable firms, tough luck.
doesn't mean it is rubbish.
The problem isn't the standard or the code. It is your unwillingness to adhere to either. If that is costing you business, then perhaps people in your area will be a little safer.
Or one can lose opportunity to sell commercial fire alarms. That is apparently what has happened to you. Please stop whining about it here.
Obviously not.
Anything that cuts into your revenue is a "big injustice," eh?
importance of following standards and submitting your work (I guess you call it that) to the authority of the standards writing agency.
Please stop this nonsense. You're being silly. Either get youself into compliance or forget doing commercial fire alarms.
You're the one who isn't allowed to do commercial fire alarms. Just stop doing them before you get caught and quit complaining about others who can still legally sell them.
that can't comply with the law want to force UL out].
Let's see. Since I came back you've posted lots of flames, filled your posts with childish insults and generally behaved like a spoiled 3-year old. If that is your idea of food for thought, perhaps you're referring to some Gerber product.
Uh-huh. Sure. :^)
Food for thought, eh?
