Default Be part of a top secret focus group now. New idea to help inspectors make more $$$.

Interested? Just agree to keep it a secret and email Peter Tafeen ptafeen@gmail.com and ask him to email you the pdf explaining it.

He'll then contact you to talk about it.

This is another "big one" !!!

All I know is that "ptafeen" received my email and while I have heard nothing back from him...my email spam filter received 10 notices of my enrollment (and need to confirm) in 10 different Lyris accounts.

Wow, Nick.

I still think that NACHI could be better than this.

Peter And The Wolff: Feds Indict Former Homestore Honchos
by Blanche Evans
If the wheels of justice appeared to move slowly in the federal indictments of former Homestore executives, CEO Stuart Wolff and VP of business development Peter Tafeen, it's obvious from related news from Time Warner just a few days ago, that justice was simply waiting for the right grease.

Three days after Time Warner finalized the terms of agreement with the SEC, including a $300 million settlement payable to the US government, Wolff and Tafeen were indicted.

Peter is one of my best friends. He is a good man, did nothing wrong, plea bargained because he had little kids. There were few rules regulating internet companies back then. The stock never went down. No one lost a penny. His partner decided to fight in court for years instead and his conviction was recently overturned.

Anyway, test out the hot new idea. It is going to be really good.

There is no conflict of interest. It is in InterNACHI members interest to consider this project. No conflict about it.
