Mike,

I think it's only fair to add a comment to the above.  Do a
Google search on this newsgroup using any of the filthiest street
language you can think of.  You'll find that the fellow who hides
behind the anonymous name "Alarminex" has filled this newsgroup
with vitriol for years.  99% of his posts are nothing but foul,
personal attacks.

In comparison, Mr. Campbell's posts are 99% helpful answers to
anyone who comes here.  While I gain some sales from newsgroup
posting, I doubt Bob Campbell ever has.  He's just one of those
nice people you occasionally find who likes to help others out.

When I first started posting in this newsgroup 8 or 9 years ago I
had a problem programming a DIY client's alarm system in
California.  I was in CT at the time.  Bob Campbell made several
international phone calls trying to help my customer out.  It
turned out the fellow had a bad connection IIRC, so Bob was
unable to get through.  I offered to compensate Bob for his time
and expenses but hew would not hear of it.

Jim would have you believe that Bob is just a money-grubber,
running down the industry to make a profit for himself.  In point
of fact, Jim has repeatedly stated that he charges as much as he
can get away with.  He has also done much to harm the image of my
and Bob's industry with his behavior in this newsgroup.  Every
time he starts harassing someone with his enraged flames, people
ask what the heck kind of people these are who call themselves
professionals and behave like street thugs.

I wasn't going to enter the fray but Jim's attacks on Bob
Campbell should not go unchallenged.  It's obscene that someone
so vile should attack one of the best participants in this
newsgroup, all the more so that he does it claiming Bob is
hurting our industry.
