On the other hand anyone buying equipment on line from someone like you
wouldn't have a clue that you're a convicted felon for pulling a gun on
someont and responsible for someones death either.And because of that
you couldn't get an installation license anyway. Have the authoities is
Florida finished investigating you ...... again, for the SECOND time,
for skirting the alarm trade laws in your state? Are you still
operating your business from South America ..... so you can avoid them?
  Well, you can't stay there forever. They'll get ya sooner or later.

Isn't it YOU that"'s got a years and years long record in Usenet of
going real life with people by calling their places of emploment and
telling lies about people simply to get them in trouble because you
don't like them. And it's you also that goes to competitors websites
and makes derogatory comments, under a false name, to make your
competitor look bad too ...... aren't you the one who does things like
that.    Why SURE you are.

On the surface,  when someone comes to this group for information, no
one would actually know that you lie to end users by implying that your
in the installation business and that you haven't got a clue about what
the new  products do, except what you read ..... or steal from the
people in this group or from publications from manufacturers. Why the
end useres wouldn't even consider that you've got numerous unsetteled
Better business claims against you either  ..... unless someon pointed
it out now would they?

So lets see ...... why don't you tell us again how the end user should
beware of installation companys and consider doing the job himself?
Yes, yes, tell us how much safer he is buying his products on line from
someone like you.

Oh and if any of the above is incorrect or if you'd like to call me a
liar, go right ahead. But we all know that you can't ........  because
it's all been documented in Google for the years and years that you've
been scamming end users in Usenet.


You' seee Beebee? What did I tell ya was gonna happen eventually?
You've burned all the bridges and too many people. Now it's all coming
together naturally. Just the way it should. Just the way I thought it
would. You're getting exactly what you deserve. No one will tolerate a
nasty vindictive lying swindler forever.
