RHC: I thought that was exactly  what I was saying but coming at it
from the other direction....:))

RHC: What I think you meant was " it's a shame that people have to
resort to locking boards. I'ts bush league"....no disagreement there...

RHC: Cause you said it yourself, this is a penny pinching business. Why
else would most companys install the cheapest shit motions that they
can when for a few bucks more they can install a far better one..

RHC: Cause you said it yourself, most people in certain market segments
won't spend a bloody dime on their alarm system, and these are the same
folks who scream like hell when things go wrong, or who try to chisel
you out of your alarm decals.

RHC; Cause not every company has your business philosophy and ethics.
If they did,  nobody would have to unlock boards at all. But then,
which industry is perfect.

RHC: Yeah, I agree, it's pure maliciousness, and they do it because
they can easily get away with it. It's called human nature sinking to
the lowest common denominator. I had a Denver police lieutenant call me
one day intrigued by the whole business of locking boards.
Unfortunately we didn't get to talk much but he implied to me he was
going to do something about it within his state. Never heard back from
him though....

when you get to be my age....wait....I won't be around to see
that....damn. .
