I don't know. But if you have done anything to publicize your inspection business' email address within the inspection industry, it is likely that one of the entities that share in the maintenance of EveryInspector.com has found your public information and added it to the database.

Yes Neil you are listed.

There is also the appearance that you harvested the info from NACHI member roles and are selling it. The same email address and phone numbers are listed in whois for NACHI.org and EveryInspector.com. If vendors want to go to the trouble to harvest info and keep their own databases, so be it. I do object to NACHI selling my info to vendors.

[Nick Gromicko]

NACHI doesn't sell info. We gave your info to Greg (a fellow NACHI member) as he was using it to inform you of a NACHI event he was hosting. We do this for free for all chapter heads and hosts of NACHI-related events and will continue. NACHI procured and delivered information is a member benefit. Go to your spam filter and simply block all incoming emails from NACHI.org if you don't want to know. Greg did not pay for it. Any member needing access to your member's contact info to announce NACHI events or legislative updates or whatever will continue to have free access to your member info without having to dig for it online. An association emailing itself is not spam.

[Carl Pennick]

What do you mean you are not selling the info. You are charging $3,500 for it and then $100 for the updates.

[Nick Gromicko]

Not me. And not NACHI. NACHI gives its member data in a nice format to fellow members like NACHI chapter heads and NACHI event hosts and NACHI legislative representatives who need it to communicate with their own members so they don't have to fish online for it when they have something to announce. It is not the info we are giving them (that is already available) it is the nice useable format to their fellow member's contact information that we give fellow members. It is not sold to our members it is given to them for free. An association emailing itself is not spam.

May I have a copy?

Actually,

I want to thank Nick and the NACHI staff (Deanna) for the items sent.

Talk about member service, received the items on the second day by 10 am.


Again, thank you all.

Carl you seem to think that your spam is comming from NACHI mailing List.
I know I too do get a lot of spam.
But My wife who is also a NACHI CMI gets almost zero spam she also has her own email address.
Now logic to me would say the spam you and I get must come from places we have visited or some other way they have our address.
Roy Cooke . CMI..RHI..CHI..CAHPI-ON. NACHI is #one in my book.

I guess the email reply I got from Nick G. may have actually been from some other staff member.

I'ts the SABA show. I sent you the link LOL

Anyway thanks again!!

[Nick Gromicko]

We actually have some fake names and email addresses that forward back to us in every database just so we can track how are data is being used. Keeps everyone honest.

[Nick Gromicko]

Todd, what is the SABA show, how is it NACHI related, and why do you want to announce it to fellow members?

Actually it's SAHBA "Southern Arizona Home builders Association"
and I was only announcing the fact that the NACHI office staff is top notch.

[Nick Gromicko]

Nice of you, but we like to reserve the emails for events and issues that really affect the email recipient (like an educational event happening in their neighborhood). When someone gets an email from NACHI we want it to be one worth opening. Staff is pretty sharp though, I will agree. Especially that Dee/Lisa team.
