It's all up to me.

If I were you I would appeal it, or pay it, or fight it, ignoring it is not going to make it go away. I guess it's a matter of how big of an example I want them to make of you. When you make statement like this one on a public message board you have to be reported to the other side, the WSDA in this case. they are a bunch of power mad bureaucrats there who don't take challenges to their "authority" well. It's your choice Wendy.
Sounds like a threat to me.

His last refuge (wouldn't you know it) appears to be TIJ, they deserve him.
Poor old Joe, the only sense he made when posting on InspectionNews was his description of Pirates, everyone enjoyed his threat to fight to the death too, many would pay to watch.

Joe decided he needed to many supporters and a flock around him to make a good Anarchist, now he's going to try and be a Pirate, it appears he already has a crew.

It's kind af funny how many here feel the need for male bonding, Senator Craig might be looking for a friend Joe, can he join your crew?

I was just rewriting what you really meant to say Lewis since you don't have the courage to admit it.

Lott, you don't have the brains to understand what anyone on this message board means when they post. Show me one time when I have ever had any fear of saying what I want to say dumb *****.

An honest person and one with any integrity or brains would have acknowledged his "editing" if he felt editing was necessary, and most likely would have included a statement such as "Isn't this what you meant to say", your failure to do so is not only a demonstration of your stupidity, but a repetition of many examples of your questionable honesty and morality that you have displayed since your appearance.

You are a shining example of what myself and many others find wrong with Bushart's Pack, even Bushart wouldn't stoop so low. You are ammunition for almost any negative comment I, or others, may want to make about Nachi's ESOP committee, who not only allow you to be a part of their flock, but who encourage you to demonstrate what is accepted as honesty here.

Lewis,

True of false:

Dr. Sunami's reply to the question stated that an inspector without an SPI license could sub-contract that portion out and remain compliant with WSDA law.

Simple true or false, please.

True.

Now a couple for you Joe.

Ms Forsyth was fined for failing to remove reference to performing Pest Inspections from her website, not over the issue of using a Sub. True or False?

If the SPI Law in Washington did not effect Home Inspectors, then it would not be necessary to disclaim portions of your SOP to comply with the Law.
True of False?

Although the Law does not mention Home Inspectors it does define what a Complete WDO Inspection is and requires an SPI License to report on any WDO related Conditions. True or False?

The Washington State Attorney General stated its opinion and interpretation of the SPI Law, reinforcing and confirming what Washington State Nachi members had said about the Law. True or False?


The use of Subs Joe, is only a small part of the Law, I admitted months ago that I was wrong about it, I also had stated months before and many times after, that I did not agree with what we had been taught about the Law regarding Subs, and I recommended that new Nachi HI's look into using Subs as a learning tool and experience before getting the license themselves.

If you had followed the discussion Joe, you would have noticed that the subject regarding Forsyth and Bushart changed from being able to use Subs, again I was wrong, to Not Having to Use a Sub, that is what evolved into the disclaiming of large portions of your SOP for an unlicensed member to both comply with the State Law and your SOP.

Washington Nachi Inspectors have a choice, get the license, use a Sub, or disclaim all reference to WDO or its conducive conditions in your SOP and their report, in short they can perform a partial inspection at best.

As a competitor with InterNachi inspectors, I'd just as soon they didn't get a license, Realtor's are, let's say, very reluctant to refer an unlicensed inspector, and some even inform their clients that they should ask their inspector for his license. So continue encouraging your members not to comply with the Law, it's good for the rest of us.

The SPI Law in Washington is asinine. TRUE

Here it is in a nutshell.

Complaint files against Ms. Wendy. Never performed ann inspection, so the question was moot.

SPI sub-contract question arose. Sunami weighed in. Yes, it could be subbed.

That, in effect, ended the Wendy and SPI debate.

What Wendy got fined for was falsely advertising thatr she had a license, or that her Co. could include the SPI inspection (which is needed for WDO, which could be anything leaky in a home)? Which one was it. I would really like to know.

She was warned by the WSDA several months before she was fined to remove reference to, I believe, performing Pest Inspections from her site, it had nothing to do with Subs, and she was advised by myself and other Washington inspectors to comply with the warning, certain members though from outside Washington told her it was unenforcable and the implication was that she could ignore the warning. She did, now she should appeal it seeing as the people who edit her website would not reply to her and, supposedly, she had no access to do so herself.

I only replied to this subject because one of your Pack blamed me for her being fined, I told her the correct things to do, contact the WSDA, get the advice of an Attorney, comply with their warning. We were telling her that more than a year ago, back in Oct 06' when she was thretening to sue you, along with everyone else.

I'll take the blame for what I do, but not when I was giving the correct information. I don't know if you have read the reply to questions several of us sent to the Director of the WSDA, she turned the questions over to the Attorney Generals office, they replied. If you haven't read it and are curious Bushart has a copy and I can email you one if he doesn't.

It's an old argument, not worth fighting again, seeing as the New Washington HI Legislation will most likely do away with the requirement.
