Don,
I would agree with you that there are many out there just like you who are qualified to install the product, there are still
to many out there who are not. I have been teaching myself different products in many of the low voltage disciplines for
many years. How many of us have had to deal with the "engineer, doctor, or other professional" who thinks that they can
do everything that we have spent years to learn. When I dig into a manual for a phone system or an alarm system or
many other products that I install, I know that without a working knowledge of just what all of the nomenclature means, I
would be lost. I remember when I started with alarms, that they were just basically switches, batteries, and timers. Now
they are mini computers and most are programmed via laptops. I am sure that there are ways that the truly qualified
technicians such as yourself, can hookup with another dealer for some form of joint venture situation. We as professionals
must all work together for the betterment of the industry. There has to be a solution that will benefit all of us, as well as
protect the customer. As an industry group, we must all work together to find a workable solution.

BOB,
I tend to agree with you, BUT !!
As a "non certified" ( in ANYTHING anymore ) telephone interconnect,
After nearly 40 years in this business, I defy you, or anybody, to tell ME I can't install ANYTHING (with a little support from my friends)!
The "people" I buy from know ME, and know what I can do.
I think you are being just a little "hard-nosed" about the entire subject.
