People often worry about liability issues, but I just don't see it as a
problem -- assuming you have good contracts and errors and omissions
insurance.  You seem to be saying that most small companies have neither.
That would be an interesting survey for someone to take.  I wonder if it's
true?

After all, it's not like you see million dollar judgments being handed down
against alarm companies very often.
