You know if Peter wanted to, he could have used a different name and you wouldn't have been able to say squat. He proudly uses his real name in his emails because he never did anything wrong. It's spilt milk anyway because I've already agreed to handle the vendors directly.

Everyone knows that in the context of my conversation I meant that we don't take money from vendors to be listed on this website or this message board. Never have. Never will. Now if we have to spend money on anything, the vendor has to reimburse us of course. I just shipped out DVDs for a company and guess who gets the postage bill?

John was not "shaken down." John didn't turn down Peter's offer, Peter turned down John's offer, because it made no sense. And yes it is perfectly fine for one side of a negotiating table to point out to the other that their product or service isn't so special that it can't be reproduced for less than the other side wants to sell it back for. Common thing to do in the course of a business negotiation.

And no, Peter never did anything wrong, just like the prosecutors in Virginia and New Jersey said when they refused to prosecute him and all the other executives.

What did I tell you, Jeff? A tweak here and a twist there....and "Presto".

Nick Gromicko · #33 1/6/09, 7:15 PM

The real truth here and the real truth there.... and "Presto."

Ah....that's what you call your inventions. "Real" truth...as opposed to "truth" as the rest of us know it.

Good. Very good.

Did you use "real" truth to make your millions in real estate?

I'm happy to take red boxes when my opinion pisses off a wimp puss like the one who couldn't sign his name to this one.

I think you might be geting me confused with many other members. My main concern was the big lie.
The Tafeen strong arming vendors is a different subject which a large group of members are mad about. I am too but it is a different subject.

Nick Gromicko · #38 1/6/09, 8:07 PM

Well, because of this crap, my phone has been ringing off the hook. Seems that many vendors see it quite differently than you and all want to do deals. The market is terrible for inspection industry vendors but fear not. I know how to increase their volume and plan to do just that. The increase in volume will permit these vendors to afford to offer better discounts to InterNACHI members. Thanks Jim!

Damn! You mean you guys actually communicate with people while conducting business and lie about your identity. You gotta love that.

Nick Gromicko · #40 1/6/09, 9:09 PM

Exactly. He could have easily lied about his identity, but never did. Good point.

It's a red box on a computer monitor, nothing more. It's absolutely meaningless and worthless as are so many of the touted INACHI programs. You're bigger than this crap Blaine. It is becoming quite obvious who the good guys and bad guys are...

You're one of the good guys!

Most members need this association like another hole in their head. The membership numbers will continue to dwindle as more and more inspectors begin to see INACHI for what it really is.

Your arrogance is now saying that it is okay if your friend uses a false name. But your own IT person will bann somebody from this message board for hiding undera name that is not his. Talking about a double standard.
You need to quite while you are behind.

Nick Gromicko · #43 1/6/09, 9:37 PM

Read again slower. I said that he DIDN'T use a false identity. I didn't say he did or that it was OK.

It doesn't much matter now, I took over vendors. These silly threads backfired and they have all been calling me and making various proposals. Although I accepted 2 of them today, I will confess, I'm far more brutal than Peter. I like things in-house at InterNACHI and I like members to get everything for free. Get ready for growth in www.nachi.org/success.htm. Many, many, more and better products and services for members.

Business is business.
