2nd, email

I was off running errands.

Have fun with your new Yahoo group. I don't expect that Steph or myself will get involved. While we may read what you have to say we will not respond. I assume you've heard lots of stuff from many people that for whatever reason feel as though they have been slighted in some way by ADT, yourself included. Keep in mind that there's at least two sides to every story. There's usually an action prior to a response. If some folks didn't like the response to their actions that's OK. That's their right. But as you stated a number of times in your audio clips ADT is a private company and we choose to operate our business in a particular fashion. Feel free to condemn us as much as you wish but we feel no need to justify any of our decisions to you or the public at large. If you're looking for a debate you're not going to get one from us. At any rate, ADT is a part time gig for me. I'm simply unable (and unwilling) to invest any time or emotions into a drawn out debate.

I don't mean this to be offensive but I've really never considered ADT to be the industry mega-force that you make us out to be, so I find much of this animosity towards us and/or the site oddly entertaining. It's like we've reached "the big time" if someone finds what were doing to be so offensive that they invest time and energy into a smear campaign. It's almost like we're hated as much as AVN by some folks. However, I'm not sure that's such an honor.

On a different note, I like the audio blog stuff. Good idea to use it to get your message across. I think you present yourself in an intelligent, rational fashion. I think that once you start laying out the major stuff people will assume your statements are factual simply because of your tone and delivery.

BTW, I can't seem to find your thread about Part 1, 2 and three. Has it been deleted?
