VIC: Apparently the drugs are helping me get
these to work. I never stated they were good
products, obviously you have a reading and
comprehension problem, I stated I was making
them work.
You really have issues, slick.
TK:
What I have to say here is purely commentary
so I apologize to those who are in search of
answers to problems and to those who share
their experience with others to assist them
in making these products work.
I came to this forum to see what peole had
to say about X10 and perhaps some of the
items I purchased but have not yet received.
I was looking for some tips on installing or
potential issues I might encounter.
What I have found in this forum is a group
of guys willing to help others, possibly new
to this hobby (and they make it clear that
it is a hobby and nothing more with this
stuff), and another group of people who
cannot contain their emotions and just let
the bile spew forth. People who's paranoia
leads them by the nose to believe that there
is this concerted conspiracy on the X10
forum against them. It would be comical if
it weren't so sad.
Just felt compelled to add that bit of
socail commentary...Again, sorry to those
who are here for answers and those who are
here to help.

We are not sycophants. None of us has ever
said that X10 provides quality equipment,
support, or service. The forums, when they
are not polluted by whiners, are one of very
few sources of useful technical information
based on practical experience and actual,
non-hyped testcases. We are trying to be
part of the solution.
Ironically, my discussion with ADT is what
led me to X10. The shyster ADT salesman
came by my house offering me a deep discount
on absolute safety and security and some
other hyped up lies. Does the hype sound
similar? I opted out of ADT because I
wanted control over all of the security
equipment whereas ADT offered to install
everything for a big fee and monitor it for
a monthly fee. ADT may be a good choice for
the nontechies that want everything done for
them and are willing to pay for it, but
you're placing an awful lot of trust in
people if you explain all of your valuables
and leave the design, implementation, and
maintenance of security to someone else. If
you're that trusting, why not just get a
nice set of deadbolts and be done with it?
