He knows that.  It was just another mindless flame from the
Milford Mugger.

Interesting point.  I never heard that but among the entire three
central stations (other than my own) with which I've done
business, none required insurance of any type whatsoever.  They
all *do* require that your monitoring contract contains
appropriate verbiage to protect them against third party claims
in case they or you screw something up.  Most contract CS will
supply their dealers with a 3-party monitoring agreement.  I
converted Alarm Central's agreement into a PDF form that can be
electronically signed and e-mailed both to me and them by the
client.

Stop making so much sense in ASA.  You will be flamed for years
if you persist.  :^)
