That's actually pretty "normal" for you.  You look for "key words" in
the different threads to respond to.

"Some"?  As far as I know there was only ever "one" that resorted to
these tactics (and he's no longer participating).

Do you mean "one" or "four", or "forteen"?  How many have you gone RL on
in the many years you've been posting to Usenet?

Nope.  We object to:

1.  Your blatant advertising of services that have nothing to do with
the group's purpose and violates the FAQ.

2.  Your constant belittling of the professionals actually "in the trade".

3.  Your misrepresentations and outright lies.

4.  The fact that you frequently instigate flame wars with odd little
comments peppered with the names or taglines of the individuals that
have expressed opinions which oppose yours or have objected to your
"antics".

5.  Bombing the group with "PR" posts that include dozens of links to
your online store which you say helps your efforts at "better search
engine positioning".

Did you tell the people you "installed and serviced" systems for that
you were an ex-con??  When did you actually decide to open the CS you
ran out of your home?  Was it in 1980 when you first got into the
business?  Why did it take you three years to obtain the proper
licensing to actually perform installations and service, and a further
six years for you to get licensed to pull permits?  Does this mean that
for *nine years* you were installing alarm equipment *without a permit*?
  Was your company even licensed to do business in Hartford?  You
started your first "online" venture in 1996.  You changed its format
last year, got rid of a FAQ section that you were pretty darn proud of,
and opened three new online stores all selling the same thing.  Why??
What's with the unanswered complaints at the BBB?  How is it you
obtained an account with ADI when you aren't even licensed as a
contractor in Florida?  What really happened when the DBPR came to your
door?  Why haven't you provided us with the results of the investigation
and the subsequent conclusions to back up what you've said about the
matter?  Are you really contemplating opening a central station in Brazil?
