And I think y'all do provide a valuable service. And it does save
lives. I never said otherwise! But does that mean everyone that
doesn't have monitoring is evil? Or that they even need monitoring?
No, I just claimed that getting a monitoring service for what I wanted
provided marginal benefits. What I want is to make sure I'm alerted
if someone enters the house while my family and I are asleep.

That is an extreme example, but again, my goal is to alert me if
someone enters the house while we're asleep. Should I buy a CO
detector and get monitoring when I don't have a furnace or anything
that burns fuel or gas in the house? Probably not. I could come up
with a long list of services and items I could buy that add some
additional protection. But if I try to purchase everything on that
list, I'd easily go broke.
Anyone could end up at a funeral and be asking themselves "Why didn't
I spend the $80,000 to install a panic room?". I don't need CO
monitoring, I'm not worried about frozen pipes here in the south, and
anything that happens to the house while we're gone is secondary.
