Heh...  And while you were "checking prices", you were frantically
typing in the changes to make your story "jive".  What a maroon.

Heh...  Right...  The prices I checked were all significantly lower.
I'll leave you to figure out where.

Sure, Bass...  Sure...  Your website's a "kludge".  There are whole
sections of it where you offer nothing in the way of "detail" other than
the same part number.  How you imagine a DIYer's going to navigate
through all that is beyond me.  You sell products which require a dealer
account at a monitoring centre for "Petem's" sake...  Unless, of course,
there's something you're not telling the Florida DBPR.

Your "bad times" stretched from 1996 to 2003, though.  Barely surviving,
yet all the while boasting your your "success" in the Newsgroup.  Now
you expect someone to believe that one company can turn around a chicken
shit outfit like yours...  In your dreams, pal.

Uh-huh...  Prove it.

You're obviously not a "Bugs Bunny" fan.  You're an "ultra-maroon", Bass.

There are more than "several" discontinued items on your site(s).  I'll
leave you to figure them out though.  Pity, really...

I know Andy well enough to know where his heart is.  You, OTOH, decided
to ruffle a few feathers a couple of years back, didn't you??  You're
the scum-sucking Basshole that posted bogus complaints on a competitor's
website posing as a former regular in the Newsgroup.  How's it feel to
be a scum-sucking asshole?  On second thought, I'd just as soon not know.

Yeah, well...  You're a "three", Bass...  That's a big comedown from
where you were before.  Have you finally figured out that "search engine
positioning" isn't as important as good customer service??  Nah-hhh,
you're still of the opinion that your "rank" should be as big as your
ego to make up for that little "dingle".

Nope.  The news is too depressing.  I like my Wonder Woman comics.

You've misunderstood what I've said.  I didn't doubt they were
published.  I'm sure you "extolled" the virtues of the equipment as well
as embellished your own participation and contribution (as you usually
do here).

Which your dad "gave" you for a dollar.

Not that pocket...  The other one.

You can't afford a good web hosting service, then.

I've seen them.  Saw the transfer documents.  One dollar was all it took
(about ninety cents Canadian).

I noticed you responded in your usual inimitable fashion.

Bassism.

Another Bassism.

No actually, that never happened, Bass.  He got a credit through his
card company.  He tried for weeks to get it straightened out with you
but couldn't.  He finally filed a complaint with his card issuer and the
BBB.  You're a moron, Bass.

All the time.
