Too bad.  Like all of us he's getting older.  Catch him while you can.

I really wish I knew a better way to put it this, but
"Well Duh".  And by the way, I am not the Edmond Fitzgerald.

Just as I expected.

Not at all.   It's fine to have an "evergreen clause".  I don't want to get
new contracts each year if I'm the company and I don't want to deal with a
new contract each year if I'm the customer.  But that doesn't mean I'm
necessarily going to accept a cancellation provision heavily loaded in the
company's favor just because I'm the customer.  And I'm not going to rely on
a salesman telling me the company doesn't enforce the egregious provision.
Come on.
