Which begs the question...  How did you manage to "pass inspections"
when you weren't even a licensed contractor (L5) until 1989?  In CT, you
can't pull a permit without a contractors license.  I'd love to see you
explain that.

I understand you frequently spoke to Santa Claus.

"You have no idea how many inspectors I know."  "Again, you have no idea
who I speak to now or with whom I had dealings then."

Look remotely familiar to you, Bass?

As you are...

You sell the *wrong hardware*, Bass.  You sell "systems" you've never
even seen, let alone serviced or installed.  You have no clue.

Ditto!

I can't remember...  Are you "pink" now...  or a bilious shade of "yellow"?

Olson hasn't lied.

You'd have to move to state without the strict licensing standards which
Florida subscribes to.

How would you categorize selling a non-compliant smoke detector with a
DSC 1864?  Seems to me that you have to make a few changes on that page
(at the very least).  Oh...  and by the way...  DSC no longer
manufactures the Power 832, Power 864, or the PC-1555.  Get with the
program, dude!
