On the contrary.  Steve only participates when you're on one of your
extended "holidays"...

For many years, you were the only one violating the letter and spirit of
the FAQ.  In fact, you've viewed this Group as your own personal "help
forum" for years, all the while denigrating the very "trade" you say
you're in.  Payback's a bitch, ain't it?

Heh...  right, Bass.  The FAQ (at
http://www.yoursecuritysource.com/asafaq.htm) isn't there to
"legitimize" any web site.  It's convenient to have it there so visitors
to the Group can see that it was founded by a person with "vision" and
to act as a "foil" for most of the things you say here.  Unlike you,
I've never been "banned" (or ousted) from a Newsgroup, so what "abuse"
are you accusing me of now?  And unlike you, I've never had my ISP
terminate my account because I was abusing a Group by cancelling other
people's posts.  This has got to be one of the most disingenuous posts
you've ever made.

The only problem is that your "bias" extends to products which you've
never used and would never recommend.  You think DSC's "junk", but you
extoll it's virtues.  You're nothing more than a carnival shill...
