Of the individuals who post here regularly, you are the last one who should ever speak of ingenuity, integrity, honesty or
helpfulness.  None of these traits have ever been attributed to you.

You're taking about a case involving *gross negligence.*  The contract was over ruled by the court because of the professional alarm
company's misdeeds.  Gross negligence is a tortious act for which numerous professional alarm companies have been sued.  It has
nothing to do with a customer providing an alternate telephone path.

We are talking about contractual liability and the idiotic assertion that if a customer provides his own cellular backup his
contract would be voided.  If a contract is voided, neither party has any further responsibility to the other.  If it's voided, the
client doesn't have to pay for monitoring and the alarm company doesn't doesn't have to provide monitoring services.  Suffice it to
say that no greedy alarm company is gooing to let their vict... er, customers off the hook just because they install their own
cellular backup.  As I said earlier, you have no idea what you're talking about.

All except you, Olson.  You're a counter clerk at a small distributor.  No one *in the trade* anywhere in or around Vancouver ever
heard of you with one exception.  A woman at one company that you once worked for stated that you had been there but had left.
Asked if you would be eligible for rehire, she said absolutely not.
