Oh??  I suppose the recent investigation you went through had absolutely
*nothing* to do with the fact that you've stopped actively selling and
collecting money for providing a monitoring service.

Nope.  They don't deal with end users direct.  You must purchase their
service through a Dealer.

NextAlarm is a Dealer.  They outsource their monitoring to "several UL
Listed stations around the country."  Read their FAQ.  In fact they even
sell a security package that includes a wireless intrusion system.

Uh-huh...  and you frequently "lose" business cards too...  You frequently
use innuendo, misleading statments and lies to bolster your rather fragile
ego and flame individuals that don't agree with (or object to) your
"agenda".  When you get caught you ignore comments from the individual that
catches you...  Where do I work again??  What's the name of my company??

Uh-huh....  When you obtain a service for FREE and charge the customer
$100.00, what's the markup??

So what's the markup from "FREE" to $100.00??  And what's the "deal" with
the use of the word "dealer"??  I thought you just said they offered
monitoring to DIY's...  You keep "dancing" in one spot like you do and
you'll wear out the carpet.

Heh...  If UL is like any other large organization, the "listing" there
doesn't mean much (their webmaster may have not gotten around to removing
them).  Why not ask them (AC) why they killed the page on their website that
*said* they were UL Listed for fire??

Nope.  I only "pester" you when you lie.

Aux contraire.  I have several.

Dream on, Robert.
