Ray:

You are incorrect.

I never said the quote you attributed to me, you only took a piece of it. Here are my actual words:

Quote:
Let me explain one more thing about Bill:

He's stuck like I am.

Anyone who knows me personally, knows I am a people person and knows that NAZI and scumbag are not words in Nick Gromicko's (the person's) vocabulary. But unfortunately I somehow ended up Founder of the world's largest inspection association and with it I have some duty to fight battles that normally I wouldn't put my nose into. Some of these fights require that I do and say things that I never would normally. Nick Gromicko is not a political activist for the home inspection industry, but the Founder of NACHI is.
I have never sent any letter to anyone named Ted Gilmore, nor do I even know anyone by that name.

And I certainly don't "call ASHI every name under the sun" as you say. I call their come-only-with-cash, no entrance requirements whatsoever Candidate program a "diploma mill", but only because that is what it is.... a diploma mill.

Just how much did Bill suck you in for for a fee?

Yes Nick it seems you change your mind regularly to suit your agenda.
Really extreme, even for you Ray. I hope Nick strips you of your membership. The way you talk to other's much less the Founder of our Org shows you are whacked.

Oh, and Ray, you are also incorrect about Bill "sucking us in for a fee" as well. We are not paying him a fee, he never asked for a fee, he never asked for any compensation or anything in return, he never even asked for us to comp his room, but now that you bring it up... I'll comp his room.

Perhaps there is something else people in NACHI don't understand.

Riddle me this Batman...

NACHI members will have to pay to hear BM speak via the cost to attend the convention, right?

Then to add insult to injury, NACHI members will have to pay $1,100 to get Nationally certified...unless they join CAHPI, pay their dues, jump through their hoops and pay only $500.

Why would Nick promote the demise of this association (NACHI)? Everyone will should be running to CAHPI to pay less for the National Certification. If it's such a great association in the first place. But alas, I thought that's everyone one was joining NACHI to begin with?

Even better why would anyone in Ontario join CAHPI only to be subjected to OAHI's brand of justice?

Will Nick buy down the fee from $1,100 to $500 for NACHI members?

Ray, huh?

No one attending the convention has to go to anything, and if you scroll down through www.nachi.org/convention2007.htm you will note that it is impossible to attend everything. We brought in a lot of speakers that will give you information that you can't get anywhere else and probably will never find an opportunity to get again: Information that you can't find online, courses that aren't basic 101, stuff to help you improve your business, and topics of strong interest (like Bill's). No one has a gun to anyone's head and there ain't a barbed wire fence around the convention.

Don't want to pay to do the CAHPI national certification thingie? Don't.

Don't want to become a CMI? Don't.

Don't want to buy an infrared camera? Don't.

Don't want to pay to come to NACHI's convention? Don't.

Don't want to offer mold testing? Don't.

Don't want to listen to my dumb talk on marketing? Don't.

They are all just options that may or may not be worth what they cost.

Isn't CAHPI's national certification kind of a similar idea to the MICB's Certified Master Inspector?

I don't want to be mean by taking your home and turning it into a NACHI training facility, so I'll give you 24 hours to remove all references to NACHI and to stop infringing on our trademarks and to remove everything libel from your site.

I sue for fun and profit, you can check to confirm, but I'll give you 1 day before all hell breaks loose on you and your wife.

No offense, just giving you a warning so you can avoid losing everything to me.

BTW: You are wrong about NACHI's entrance requirements: http://www.nachi.org/rigorous2006.htm

I have to step in here. Ray, when you start attacking the big guy then I will jump in. WHO CARES WHAT CAHPI is doing. Who cares what you think. YOU ARE BORING ME. I have been a member for 2 years and all you do is trash OHAI and CAHPI. Enough bulls**t. I am asking you to stop. Just to let you know I am tired of your wining and slamming everyone. Do not mixup intellegance and ignorance.
Nick,
I will be there and am willing to listento what Bill has to say.

CookieRay and Roy no one would know anything about the National Certification.,not only that it would all ready be in place and all none CAHPI members would be on the outside wondering what had happened .

You two sure think alot more of yourselves than anyone else thinks of you.

I think you two are about to burn all your bridges and I'm going to be getting ready to light a sparkler off of the flames as you spiral to the ground.

You have yet to utter anything intelligent yet. Still waiting for you gums to stop flapping in the breeze.

You are an insult to every honest and ethical inspector on this forum. We all know how you got your membership. Your website speaks volumes about your abilities. Sadly you are poster girl of incompetence within Nachi entrance requirements. Now go back and dupe the public with Nachi assistance into dupping the public.

Ray, the link you posted is to a site not under my control, nor has it ever been. You have it assbackwards. It is not one of my sites saying something about someone else... you accidentally posted a link of someone else's site apparently saying something about me.

Oh my gosh Ray. You are totally psychotic.

You only don't want to have to join because you know you can't pass the tests.

BTW,
Why are you advertising on a website soliciting clients when you are supposedly retired?
