e-brake woes, is it me or my mechanic? long...

I have owned my 1995 900S for over 4 years and in the winter I leave it in neutral with e-brake on to warm up about 15 min while I am inside house. Other than that I always park it in reverse with e-brake. About 6 months ago the tension in the e-brake was loose so the saab dealer adjusted it. The e-brake worked tight for a few weeks and then intermittently would hold. When I recently brought it back for them to check it again the mechanic put it in reverse, backed up with the e-brake on and it held. I explained that the car rolls if in neutral with e-brake on and he said "never keep it in neutral like that, always in gear" He did not look underneath the car at all saying " if we adjust it again it could damage the rear shoes" I feel tension in the brake but it won't hold the car safely, is it me or is my mechanic right? Shouldn't a car be safe in neutral with e-brake while running? Sometimes I feel like trading my car in for a bicycle.
