I am not full of silent contempt for ADI if that is what you are trying to
imply. Yes, I tell them they're trunk slammer headquarters straight to their
face. Email me if you care to and I'll give you the phone number of the
local ADI branch and you can check those facts for yourself. I'll give you
the names and numbers of the local SGI and Tri-ed too. There are probably
none more acutely aware than the staff working behind the counter at the
ADIs of this world that they are trunk slammer headquarters; as they are
bombarded daily by technical questions they can't begin to answer. ADI sells
parts to alarm companies. Alarm companies install and service alarm parts.
ADI needs to know the SKU and the price, and if they have it in stock and
not much else. Alarm company staff need to read the installation manuals,
not have it read and explained to them over the phone by the counter staff.
Most parts houses know the type company they're sell to. They know the
difference between companies that buy direct from the manufacturers and work
on keeping a knowledgeable staff and ones that don't. Getting to that level
doesn't happen over night by sprinkling magic dusk or adopting an elitist
attitude. It is certainly not diminished by being thought of as elitist,
especially by a self described trunk slammer. Some people have a different
name for what you refer to as elitist. I believe it is called professional
(elitist) or knowledgeable professional (fucking elitist).


> Screw it...

Isn't that the quote most often used by a trunk slammer when he roasts a
piece of gear because he didn't follow (or even read) the installation
instructions? Yes screw it; its always someone else's fault.
