It's not what you said in the past, it's who you are - really.
Industry Only means just that.  No DIY'ers, no teenage neighborhood
burglars, etc.   And as has been said, who really knows who any of you
really are?

As stated, it has to be an email address from the same company domain
name.   So if info@xxxxxxxxxxxx is listed then bob@xxxxxxxxxxxx would
be allowed.   If xyzalarm@xxxxxxxxx is listed in the company listing
then ONLY xyzalarm@xxxxxxxxx would be allowed (not other gmail accts,
etc)

I think OT discussion has it's place and in the open forum will be
very loose in that regard as long as it appears useful to the group.
Anyone that has dealt with me personally before will tell you that I
don't give a damn whether people like me or not.... I'll always do
what I think is best based on the situation.   My intention is not to
alienate people, but some of that comes with the territory.

Posts are not being approved - it's near real time (just like here) -
those that violate the rules are just subject to deletion.

Enough said on this topic... either people validate to get in the
Industry Only forum or they don't.   It's their choice.   Of course
they can always just stay here as well.
