You're missing the obvious.  He's lying.  There was nothing at EH Expo.  I buy more from ADI than Mugford and ten like him.  Do you
think they give a rat's olson what he thinks?  They bend over backward to take care of my account.  The same is true of most of the
others.  I say most because I don't buy enough GE stuff to keep an open account with them.  They're more interested in the ADT's of
this world.  That's fine with me.  I get better prices on their stuff from a 3rd party distributor than I could get buying direct.

I also supply a few small dealers and every once in a while (like today, for example) I actually get orders from a small
distributor.  I buy certain CCTV lines in enough quantity that my cost is now lower than some distributors are paying.

Naah.  Itt was for your "benefit".  Mugford and Worthy are inveterate liars.

Hmm.  The black tie dinner sounds great but that G-string event would get ne killed.  Angela bought a pair of scissors from this
Bobbit woman on eBay and...  :^)

For a few small dealers it is.  One guy in Tennessee losthis account with ADI due to business problems.  He orders a few
Ademco/Honeywell panels from me two or three times a month.

I'll give you a clue as to what Napco says about me.  They wrote a story about one of my customized Napco installations for an
Orthodox synagogue in their newsletter a few years ago.  The story was titled, "Friday the Rabbi Slept Late".  In another issue they
wrote about a custom job I did for a blind couple.

I've been a Napco dealer longer than most of these jackasses have been in the trade.

The more the better.  :^)

I suspect he has an ample supply of willing, young ladies.  It's a shame he wasn't more selective though.  Monica?  Yuck!
