Inspection Education & Training This is a general forum for inspectors to discuss their educational experience, and to ask questions of InterNACHI's Education Committee. This forum is dedicated to the memory of InterNACHI member and educator Gerry Beaumont. Gerry was an avid proponent of education for inspectors and will be sorely missed.

If you want the system, we clearly ask you to send an e-mail and request it.

We have it listed on this site and the web site link- which is quite fine and operational.

I, too, wondered about needing to pay for something free.

Offer withdrawn- those who followed instructions were e-mailed the file. If you requested it, you should receive it today.

Offer has been withdrawn- Anyone who has already e-mailed me, wil receive the free videos as promised.
Bill, I am sure that your intentions were good, however the presentation was a bit confusuing. You did not only ask anyone to "simply email you". You had posted a very long advertisment for the vidieos. At the end of your ad it said to email you. Some had tried to follow the links in the ad (which did not work) to wich you replied:

Which to me seemed like the link was disabled until you bought the system.
I asked two simple questions to which your response was to withdraw your offer.

I guess that was easier than trying to clear up the confusion.

Communication is not what you say, it is what the other person hears.

Due to the obvious confusion, I have withdrawn the offer. I was able to send out 17 free Video systems to those who e-mailed me as requested.
I think something is wrong with your email, Bill.

David:

I appreciate your advise, but if you are of the belief that my offer which was free, was a scam, you are mistaken. You have participated in other free offers of mine, including the home inspection yellowpages. That was not a scam either.

The offer has been withdrawn. Too much drama. No good deed goes unpunished.

Perhaps some people (your customers?) who were interested in your offer but wanted some clarification are still confused.

Didn't know answering simple questions is considered drama.
