Cute.  My BBB report doesn't look anything like yours.  I understand yours
was so full up of victims they had to spool a few off to make room.

Nope.  Guess again.  I don't install or monitor residential security
systems.

I'd say it's about as long as your BBB report.

Hmmm.  Is Leuck a "clerk"?  Is Frank?  Do you really know, or are you just
instigating again?

The "vast majority" do no such thing on a disconnect or otherwise.  For
every alarm company you care to mention that forces a customer to sign a 3-5
year "over-priced monitoring contract" just ot get service on a local alarm,
I'm sure I can name five that don't.

You're an idiot, Bass.  First off, you're calling someone you don't even
know "dishonest", and following that up with some nonsense about his being
"expatriate".  Secondly, I'm posting from Vancouver, B. C.  That's in
Canada.  We have this thing about spelling words like "honourable" correctly
up here.  Third, I've never snap-rolled a 737.  I know of someone who was
_in_ one that inverted briefly though (I've even seen the movie).
