Re: need unbiased advice about lynx system

No different than any dealer that puts in the free systems. He makes his
money in the monitoring. The couple of hours labour you "lose" at the front
end, you make up for with years of monitoring profit, plus multitudes of
referrals.

The rest of your comments don't warrant an answer; they are typical of your
cynical attitude towards dealers who are more concerned about their clients
costs, and in keeping them from making the mistake of signing over control
of their alarm system to dealers like you.

You show what you're really made of with all the vitriol you spew on this
newsgroup. If you treat your clients like you deal in this newsgroup, I feel
genuinely sorry for them.
