What a crock...  errmmmmm...  crook...

Uh-huh...  Sure...

This is after you'd hit him on the head with a hammer, right?  :-)

Nope.  You've posted tens of millions of bytes of useless information
and html from your own website.  You've also posted thousands of bytes
of equally useless "family values" messages.

You mean the posts about "you"??

Hmmm...  How about posting a couple of "Google" links to back up your claim?

You missed the part about how you do this completely unprovoked (as in
after a long absence).

Kindly relate to us how anyone can file a "bogus complaint with the
BBB"?  If any of the complaints here:

http://www.bbbwestflorida.org/commonreport.html?bid=41001663

were filed by anyone here (in ASA), PROVE IT!!!!

heh...  sure...  Bass no longer sells monitoring services on line...

Neither are you.

Kindly point to one posting that was anti-DIY.  Just one, Bass.  The
dozens or so "puppets" you frequently post here as don't count.

Sure you do.  With "brilliant" suggestions you've culled from very same
industry professionals that post here and the Sentrol Application
Handbook...

Which is entirely true.

Proof, Bass...  Proof.

And you aren't??

It's sorta like lookin' in the mirror, isn't it??  What's the FAQ say
about selling stuff in the Group again??

Well, I'm happy to say I am too...

Sorta like you, eh?

Actually, he was very patient with me when I first started posting into
the group...  Remember??

He's a "pip" alright...

Nope.  That's not the reason, either...  You're a liar, Bass.  A fraud.
  A Cad...  an Ultramaroon...

You mean the "furthest from", don't you??
