So lets' see. Then I guess you also say that a Mack Truck mechanic is
at the top of the food chain and an automobile mechanic is as the
bottom. Or ..... an electrician who works on High tension transmission
of power is a better electrician than an elevator Eletrician. A Baker
at Entenmens better than the local bakery. A commercial alarm
installer better than a residential installer .......   Uhyup
Uhyup!  I would imagin that you are a commercial installer ......
right??  People that work with bigger things are naturally more
skilled than people who work on smaller things.

Yep, thanks for that. Jeeze, if it wasn't you metioning this and
bringing it to my attention I would have guessed that my skills in
installing residential alarm systems had nothing to do with me being
in the trade for 42 years with almost exclusively by word of mouth
referrals .... exclusively. Being written  up a number of times in
trade mags with unique installations. Even being called on by my
competitors to help them get their equipment and installation
working ......

Well I guess it's time for me to retire and just let the other half of
my numb brain dissolve.
Sigh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
