Jim,

Im scratching my head..... but ill try to respond :)

Everyone dosent need to expose who they are, just that they work in
the security field. If your an alarm guy you would understand the
reason to have a validated forum.  And maybe lurking was the wrong
word,  I contribute to this forum when their are meaningful posts and
sometimes when they are not so meaningful.
