Re: Need Advice For Packaged Home Alarm Purchase

["Mike" <wxyz09@xxxxxxxxx>]

DST, I've learned  a lot about alarms and the security business from reading
the posts in this newsgroup.
I want to thank everybody who has taken the time to post constructive
messages
to the tthread I started.  Clearly, many of the posts were revealing
"insider information"
Information that I would have unlikely ever read anyplace else.   My take on
flamers, bullies,
thugs are the same on the street as they are in newsgroups - ignore them.
It's unfortunate when these types
disrupt a legitimate newsgroup such as alt.security.alarms.
