Suggestion for box where alarm monitoring failovers from landline to cell phone - when landline is cut.

Of the individuals that post here regularly, Mark is one of the most upstanding and helpful I know. Unlike you, he's never lied or plagiarized someone else's work.

that in the event they are held liable for any customer

monitoring fees, whichever is lesser. The precise amount

times over the years and you have participated in

Yes, it has. There was a similar "limitation clause" in Chubb's contract, yet when a customers premise burned down and the alarm failed to notify the station, they were held liable for significant damages

*over and above* the so-called "limitation".

All of the individuals *in the trade* that post here are either owners, managers, or employees of alarm companies. Alarm companies (in most states and provinces) need to be licensed, bonded and *insured*. When I say "insured", that means they carry a significant amount of liability coverage (usually on the order of 5 million dollars, but that amount increases depending on the type of work they're involved in). From your statement concerning "limitation of liability", I take it you've never carried liability insurance, errors and omissions, or failure to perform. You've relied entirely on the "$250.00 limitation clause" in your contract to protect your ass. You're a moron, Bass, and I for one am very glad that you no longer run (or are involved in) an alarm installation/service company. There are far too many "trunkers" out there as it is and one less is all for the better.

answered him correctly. You lied.

Interesting how you've managed to divert this thread with a few well placed "snips", isn't it?

So you assaulted a complete stranger with a replica gun and in your mind that's acceptable, "oh it was only a stranger and it wasn't a real gun", I'm sure that was some comfort to the terrified victim of your assault, and you have the front to moralise and call others "lowlife, lying sacks of garbage"

Hey Doug! You don't sound like you were too much fun in your early years. How did you ever manage to learn any good pistol whipping techniques without a few fake handguns around? I have learned plenty with them myself. I haven't been able to talk the Boy Scouts into making it a merit badge kind of thing yet, but I always get a big group of folks really interested when I show off my stuff at the Klan rallies! You sound just like most so called normal folks that think the value of a replica gun is nothin' other than a stage prop.You have really overlooked all the good stuff you can do with a fake gun Here's just a couple of examples. Besides lookin' like a real bad ass carrying one, you can count on one for gettin' rid of sass. Boy I mean to say once they start spittin' teeth, all that sass seems to go away right with them teeth. If you get a big bucket or two of those fake guns then its makes it no big deal to toss one out after each use. You know, that way the clean up is easy. No scalp hair, blood, bits of teeth and dentures and all that other bodily fluids stuff to have to mess with cleanin' up. And talk about "sacks of garbage" , since I am a nice guy myself I just go throw the used ones the Good Will donation box and let someone else get some use out of it. Yes I know I really don't have to do that, but that is just the kind of guy I am. But I wonder sometimes if the cops don't get to them first. You know every time I drop off a big batch of used guns seems the cops are always hangin' around that box for the next day or two. They pretend they're busy puttin' yellow tape around the box and such. I bet they're just tryin' to to get lucky and get more free. Well let me finish here. I think I understand the goin' after a stranger thing more than you do. And after all once you have got all the sass out of the women and kids at the house, or put 'em in the hospital or in a shelter somewhere givin' them a teatment for somethin' else thats wrong with 'em, who else can you go after but a stranger? Guess you just don't have your thinkin' just right yet. Since I can't do it for you, get one and slap your own self upside the head with it And do it you get your mind right or lose it tryin' by god. See it just don't ever stop 'cause that's one more thing they're good for I just thought up.

Roland,

Does the term verbal diarrhea mean anything to you, instead of producing a mini series you could have said

"Doug, you're a boring old fart now, you were probably a miserable bastard as a kid and you f***ed up by not realising how much fun fake guns can be"

and I thought RHC was long winded.

Oh, and I'm still in my early years.

Doug

Well when I was I kid and couldn't find anything else fun to do I always played with myself. That didn't sound right, did it? As far as getting older goes I am probably young enough to not worry about a good number one or two every day. So verbal diarrhea now would be like two in one.

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.

I lost my temper. It was 30 years ago. Since then I grew up. What happened to you?

Wrong again. In Florida, "assault" means to threaten. Striking someone is called "battery"

What happened to me ?, I grew up without assaulting, killing or maiming anyone, pretty unremarkable really, a lot of people seem to manage it.

Assaulting someone with a replica gun doesn't seem to me as something that typically occurs when throwing a tantrum, while not as familiar with assault and battery as you seem to be, I would imagine most attacks that result from a loss of control use the nearest available object as a weapon. The use of a gun, real or otherwise tends to suggest a planned assault or robbery.

I would suggest anger management to control your temper.

Doug

Oh, crud. I didn't notice that you guys x-posted this here.

No doubt, if you had your response in CHA would likely to have been to deny the assault ever took place, oh well such is life.

Doug

Ooppps....

You didn't want your minions to see that, huh?

only a moron would assault someone with a fake gun. a very lucky to still be alive [for awhile anyway] moron.

Go away. You offer nothing of value to this newsgroup.

where does it say you have to do what Bass says in usenet?

Your off topic political statements with which you have been bombarding newsgroups with recently offer no value either, but that doesn't stop you posting them. Why don't you get your own house in order before trying to tell others what is or isn't acceptable.

Doug.
