Somebody please repost this, just in case ...........


You're such an idiot Campbell.

You don't have a freaking clue how to run a business, and on top of
that you proudly go about, proving it.

YOU have a hard time trying to deal with RFI Paul for spouting off
about his nosensical gibberish, yet you are blind to the fact that you
tread water in exactly the same gene pool as he swims.

You don't seem to be able to see that there are numerous things that
companies or their owners do to survive and to assure that they will be
around or have some equity in their business for retirement. Just
because you don't have the intelligence, need, will or insight, to see
any future for you in this industry, there are thousands of people who
do see them selves and their lifes long work continuing. Hey you dumb
shit, why do companies get liability insurance? Why do companies make
investments? Why do companies upgrade equipment, have pension funds,
health plans?  401k's? Roths?  None of these things enhance the service
that the end user gets, but the end user is damn well paying for it.
You sound so damn stupid in the face of every authority in the alarm
industry, who says that it's down right stupid for any company to NOT
have contracts and the longer the better. You've just got this ADT bug
up your ass, so Goddamned far that it's reached,what used to substitute
for your brain. You're a fart in a wind storm and you damn well know
it. Yet, you've just GOT to pontificate your stupid and asinine
nonsense and expect, just as RFI Paul does, that if you say it often
and long enough, that someone may believe you. If you're such an
authority on running a business, why don't you explain the logic to the
people, that you explain in as great a detail as your "no contracts"
gobbledygook,that you also don't see the logic to charging for service
calls ..... ever. Now ..... for them, they're all happy as can be, and
it never sinks in that ........ eventually it's going to eat your
company right up and likely right out of business. Why don't you tell
them that you really don't care if your business survives or not. Why
don't you tell them that YOU've already got an income for retirement
and that this is just sort of a hobby for you. I'm sure then they'd
REALLY understand why you don't have any common sense or concern about
keeping your company viable with equity value or making enough profit
to make it grow as well as it could or keeping it around for years to
come. You're just going to hand it off to your son, who's Ahem!...in
training now ........ But hey, what the hell, both he and the company
will sink or swiw ...... Right? Then they just might understand also,
how you're not building any value for who ever takes the business over
in the future ..... someone who just doesn't happen to have a
retirement income as you do. Sure, you're customers are as happy as can
be to help you eat up your profits and keep your business in stasis
.... so that they can save a few bucks now. And I'm sure that they all
pat you on the back and give you all the "attaboys" for not doing what
all your smarter competitors do. I'm sure they'll be happy when the
company can't make it anymore and they've got to jump ship and find
someone who knows how to keep a company in business.

Oh, yeah. By the way .......You can chalk this response off and compare
it to the same thing that YOU occasionally do to RFI Paul, after you
heard his stupid imbecilic inanities, one to many times.
