RHC: Nick, large companies are known for integrating a large measure
of corporate propaganda into their salespeoples "knowledge base".  I
see it even with legitimate large companies like ADT.

Back in the days when I was actually doing manual billing, I had
forgotten to bill this one customer for a couple of months. One day,
while I was about to send him his late bill, I noticed a "failure to
communicate the test signal. So I called him. I didn't know it but he
actually worked for ADT, and assumed as his company touts, that most
small businesses go out of business leaving their customers high and
dry, and that because he didn't get a bill, he assumed the worst with
me (of course, he couldn't have picked up the phone..right). Anyway,
that's the ONLY time I ever lost an account to ADT, and for the
stupidest of reasons.

His system was always needing work; I guess now he'll get a taste of
ADT's service....:))
