Dear Chinese drywall.com

Thank you for sending an email to my fee based server. Since you are not a Paying customer, your host will now be billed $237.49 for this email. If we should continue to do business, I will consider waiving this fee. Of course you must have something relevant to sell me for me to do business with you. I look forward to your email in 30 days, as well as any follow ups you may have.

So if the lawyer's do not make any money off of client's for the law suits they'll make it off the inspector's willing to sign up for this listing.

[Robert Sole]

I'm signing up right now. Yeah right!

[William E. Siegel]

I asked myself who would be stupid enough to sign up for this and low and behold, in Broward and Dade Counties there are about ten inspectors listed.

Adding to the saga, I received this email today.

Robert,

I saw your posting on the Internachi message board and I felt compelled to write. Your criticism of the website providing listings for us with regard to chinese drywall is shortsighted. I am listed and I personally have seen an increase in business, for the drywall and other matters, and I have heard similar things from friends. In these tough times it may behoove you to be a bit more open minded.

John

It appears that the people running the site are checking out the message board.
