Man.

Within the last two hours - on three different threads- T. Allen, W. Decker, and H. Miller all did something in common. You all agreed with one of my posts and....most importantly....stated as to how you hated to say that you agreed with me.

This is just a trick to get me to go back and re-think my position, isn't it?

You know...I could get a complex from this. You guys better just cut it out.

And please.....not in front of the ASHI guys.....okay?

You are right James , it's a trick.

I would just take the atta boys and be happy as they are few and far between.

James,

This might be an Ethics violation. What type of people are
you associating with now?

Or... your superior wisdom has caused some folks to see
the light? Hmmmmm....

Try not to let it happen again....

That is so concise and rational you can't possibly be a practicing inspector.

Heck this is NOTHING. Try posting something obvious on the ASHI board!

I know for sure ASHI NORTH (OAHI/CAHPI) does as I have read some of the letters that they have sent to members who use the NACHI name or the letters CHI on there web site . One member was fined by OAHI for doing that .
Easy to see why NACHI is growing well in Canada and OAHI/CAHPI is stagnet.
Been there saw how OAHI operates and joined NACHI . The best move I made in the Inspection industry .

Roy Cooke A Happy NACHI Member

Do you have evidence that ASHI members are hapless inspectors? Or are you just trying to fit in with the good ole boys network?

Nick, sorry for critizing your opinion of ASHI. It is very difficult for me to listen to constant criticism of other associations. The local NAHI and ASHI chapters near my home are comprised of wonderful good hearted people that would give up an inspection to help out a new guy. For many of you who only know NACHI, you probably don't understand what it's like to be at peace with all three associations. It's a great feeling IMO.

In many other places, Erol, ASHI is a covert organization that hides things...even from its own members...in order to further the agenda of a few folks at the top.

In St. Louis, the ASHI chapter opposes licensing. It's president does not. He, along with two other ASHI members, formed an association called MAHI that pretends to be a "coalition" of home inspectors from all associations. When ASHI members inquire about this, the president of the chapter lies to them and tells them he does not support licensing...actually, that he opposes licensing...then meets with legislators as the president of MAHI to help them write the bill.

Since only 30 members of the 130 member chapter supported his "coalition", he had ASHI chapters in Columbia, MO and Kansas City, MO pass a resolution at their local meetings (with a relatively small attendance) that ALL members of their chapters would automatically and mandatorily become members of MAHI. This produced a large list of "members" to a "coalition" that actually went against the will of his membership.

At ASHI meetings in St. Louis, most matters are kept quiet at the meetings since several members of that chapter are also NACHI members and the president does not want to disclose anything that they might pass on.

Newbies at the chapter complain of being left out of everything and find it to be a closed society...happy to take their dues, but not willing to do anything else to help them be successful.

Yes, there are some good folks that belong to ASHI and I know a few of them...and like them. This does not change the fact that the association, and its leadership, are covertly working against the will of its members to advance themselves and their own private business interests.

Nick's description is fitting when applied to the overall organization.

Jim,

I agree with 99.999 % of your post. I must admit that ASHI is like a business venture seeking profits to pay it's big staff. I alway thought that NACHI offers the biggest bang for the buck. My tirades are a by-product of high school partying.
