RHC: No need. I didn't bother to put your filter back on yet since I
wanted to see if you planned to spew more hate towards RLB. I hope you
are enjoying gloating over his misfortune.

BTW, my post was a "tongue in cheek", lighthearted post to take a poke
in the ribs at Frank's comment (and I'm sure everyone but you saw
that...). If a customer pays for his system fully up front AND is
stupid enough to also sign into a long term contract that doesn't do a
damn thing for him, so be it ! A fool and his money are soon
parted.......

I just had a new client who had to pay out $850 to buy his way out of
a contract in order to come to me for decent service (and that's after
buying his system fully up front).

And that's no "poke"......(nor do I intend to continue this tired old
line about long term contracts)
