I guess that "some people" either cannot read, or cannot comprehend what they have read or.... just love to make pests of themselves.

Why else would the VP of a major corporation go to Canada unless he was planning on expanding into that country and wanted to explain / offer their services?

Jeez....

Like I said earlier..... since last February our Canadian NACHI membership has increased and the programs and benefits are following suit.

I am happy for our Canadian brothers!

Exactly

Some people have far too much time on their hands Frank!

That's why I've been on here so much lately, Mario. Last 21 days......only 4 half days not out in the field.

Nick:
Don't believe everything everyone tells you!!!! You then repeat it and makes you look bad!!!

Copied directly from company websites:

* Guardian currently protects about 200,000 customers.

* Today, over 1,200,000 customers in 250 markets in the United States and Canada chose Brink's Home Security as their trusted home security and alarm company to provide reliable home security systems.

* By the mid-1990s, ADT reached a high-water mark in its history by adding more than 180,000 new customers to surpass the one-million-customer milestone.

So little ole Guardian has more revenues with way fewer customers than the big guys in what essentially has become a commodity market. Very surprising!!! I must rush out and buy some of their stock since they obviously are able to charge much more than their competitors for this financial phenomenon to occur.........NOT!!!

Don't spin things. The truth doesn't hurt......or does it????

Almost every project we've ever completed was once predicted to fail. www.nachi.org/success.htm

Nick You are posting erroneous info again. Home Depot is not spending "millions" on NACHI advertising, nor is Loews, why would they when NACHI is nothing but a marketing tool and no assurance of quality? Hey Joe held any hangings lately that we should know about?

[Nick Gromicko]

I agree, we are a sort of "marketing tool" but not "just" a marketing tool.

And I agree that there is "no assurance of quality" but that is a silly point as no organization or government can assure quality.

My advice to consumers is to use InterNACHI members and this is why: www.nachi.org/blind.htm

It looks like the tag team of wand and Brian are bored! The first clue is they are home, the second clue is they care about NACHI, an association they are not members and the third clue is....wait for it.... they are clueless!!

Hey Mario.o.o.o.o!!

If we are so clueless, why spend any time on us? You should be reading the thread where a well respected member just quit!!!

"Men like Pope/Cyr/Cooke/Duffy/Decker should be on the ethics committee."

Respected member? He should start by respecting himself. Giving up his membership for wand or cooke is so not worth it! He will soon find that he made a mistake and will be back here within one year!

Actually Jeff Pope was on the ethics committee that expelled cooke.

[Rae Magic]

This is just too funny! Who needs Wand and Cooke around when you have Mario carrying on the legacy of lunacy?

Raymond Wand,

You are a low life, Son of a *****.
