3. The deal was rejected by InterNACHI.

No harm done. Issue closed.

You deleted the thread, but I will refresh your memory.

The vendor was contacted by your representative who, under your authority, told the vendor that he must pay you cash.

Not a discount to the membership. Cash, to you.

In exchange for this cash, you would agree not to duplicate his services and pay it to the membership for free, thus harming his business.

After a series of half-truths and tricky denials.....your responses were parsed and....little by little....you eventually admitted that you took this money from vendors.

After admitting that you took the money from the vendors, you then claimed that you used the money to reimburse yourself for the "costs" of all the membership benefits (that you had originally purchased with money from dues).

Now....after deleting the thread.....we are back to your original lie.

Who, other than McKenna, do you actually think will fall for this?

That is totally untue. No vendor has ever paid me a penny. And I've never asked a vendor to pay me anything... much less "cash." And I don't know of anyone going around demanding vendors pay me anything.

Pure nonsense.

I'm not going to deny this 1,000 times again. It is untrue.

If any payments go to Nick to cover the cost of doing business,
what is the problem? It did not go into Nick's pocket, it went
into NACHI, to cover cost.

If someone says they can get a better deal somewhere else,
they have a right to say that.

NACHI is not required to take all the offers made to them,
because it might appear they will cause a vendor to go
out of business by saying no.

Grow up man.

[James H. Bushart]

Deleting the thread does not erase the memories of those who read - in your own words - how you justified taking this cash from vendors, Nick.

You even shared where the money went.

LOL.....

Good, then let's start. A banner ad on each page of a web site that has this much traffic should be at least 10k per month.

Each vendor that is a member should pay a flat fee of marketing of $250 per month plus a minimum of 8% and non members pay $400 per month plus 10% of gross sales made through NACHI assets. Fair for all, more money for www.nachi.org/benefits. No pay for play list, no accusations of thuggery, and you don't have to pay the call people at ProLab.

[Nick Gromicko]

InterNACHI will NEVER put up a banner ad.

[Blaine Wiley]

The money from the vendors could/would even pay for annual regional conferences in the Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest for on site CE and fun!

Nick, you asked for me to quote you, and Michael and I both did........

See what I mean folks. Six years now and the same answer.

Yep. Banner ads stink. They are pollution.

[James H. Bushart]

Blaine.....If you were a vendor and were asked to pay for a banner ad by an association that claimed (depending upon what day of the week it was) 10,000 ....now 6,000 members alleging to be potential customers....would you expect to see more proof of the market's existence than a CD full of bad email addresses or rosters filled with non-working phone numbers?

[Nick Gromicko]

Jeff, I stand by my statement that you quoted.

[Nick Gromicko]

Jim. Wake up and pay attention. We don't sell banner ads. Blaine already explained that he's heard me say this for 6 years now!
