I think you've misread what he's saying.  I don't think he's interested
in getting involved in the Robert L. Bass "fan club" (or the "IB" as you
so frequently call it) and all that it entails.

Do you even know who this individual is?  How do you know he even runs a
business?  From his sig, I'd say he was a "fire alarm technician".

Who exactly is the "intended audience" of your posts?  Who is the
"intended audience" of this forum?  Let me refresh your memory:

"The Group's Purpose:

To provide a place for members of the Alarm/Security industry to
interact with each other and with the public in manners regarding the
installation and/or use of Alarm and Security equipment."

(http://www.yoursecuritysource.com/aboutasa.htm)

This "Group" isn't about DIY, Robert.  What part of "members of the
Alarm/Security industry to interact with each other and the public"
don't you understand?  No other on line dealer that posts here
interprets this the way you seem to be doing.  Remember our discussion
about "ethics" a while ago?  Have you bothered looking it up?

When was the last time you *installed* anything as a *professional*
(i.e. for compensation)?  Are you licensed as a home theatre installer?
  Do you pay worker's compensation?  Do you have insurance?  You've sold
your house, yet the address you list for your various on line entities
still reference it.

You do, in fact "recall" this correctly.  What are you doing now?
Comparing yourself to an actual *installing Dealer*?  You run an on line
parts business.

What part of "I'm just not interested" don't you understand?

Right.

Who's the "bigger thug", here?  Who's got a history of nastiness in
Usenet that spans a decade and a bit?

Ahh...  You mean he's made an astute observation which you've taken
exception to.  I notice you haven't responded to his reply.

Yep.  And you know very well just who it was too!!

Now you're accepting praise for something you didn't provide!!

When you join them up they're supposed to make a pretty picture, right?  :-)
