What's that got to do with anything?

No comment on the topic at hand? Or do you even remember what we were talking about? I'll refresh your memory... you accused me of some contractual hanky-panky, and I told you for the umpteenth time that Gromicko took advertising product without paying for it; and Roy Cooke lies to you, just like he does to everyone else.

And Gromicko laughs all the way to the bank.

Don't be such a rube.
Gil,
I think this Ray's halfassed attempt at intimidation. Mighta worked too....if I happened to be Dave Bottoms.

I wonder what his OAHI organization would think of him suggesting that he's going to toy with Bottoms' credit rating.

Regards,
Norm

Gil

Thanks for the post they are always a good read, much better then Dave's!

So who gave the okay to place the order? I thought there would have to be a PO, a contract (signed) what happen there?

Help me out here. Just trying to help you bring the issues to the table so we can hopefully get this resolved.

Thanks.

There was immediate contact between Nick Gromicko and both ad companies. I had nothing to do with any of it, other than making the original suggestion, which was to place a NACHI banner in each folder at half-price and obtain a discount for members' ads placed in the same presentation folders. It was a good deal.


And it was conceived, because Gromicko was asking Canadian NACHI members to watch out for advertising opportunities for NACHI in Canada. We said "How about this?" and he said "Cool! Go for it." The ad companies sent him samples/proofs, and he gave them the go ahead. This culminated in Nick taking thousands of dollars of advertising and not paying for it.

I guess they were silly enough to produce without a signature. They thought they could trust the honesty and integrity of the director of the association for the "best home inspectors in the world." Wrong. Nick Gromicko siezed the opportunity to get something for nothing.

But Gromicko did post samples on this board, and continue to accept the product for a long time before he finally admitted to welching on the payment. But he didn't openly welch. He lied again, and claimed he never authorized the ad campaign. And then Gromicko deleted the posts and the webpage where he bragged up the folder ads. Evidence destroyed.

The ad companies were phoning me, looking for payment, because they had no other contact after Gromicko went back into hiding. That's when he fed you guys the misinformation which started all this bickering two years ago... that and our refusal to treat Dave Bottoms any differently than anyone else.

That's when Roy Cooke lied to you, about us.

Gromicko is laughing his head off, because he got lots of free advertising, and left us bickering among ourselves which takes the attention and heat off him.

So go suck an egg Raymond, because I don't care anymore. I'm out of NACHI and you're still there, wasting your time and unfortunate enough to have a liar like Cooke pretending to be your friend.
Talking about These???

I don't know, Ray, you'll have to call and ask Dave yourself? If your asking about one of my nerves, then you missed by a long shot, boy.

FYI, Raymond Wand is bugmenot.

When this embarrassing fiasco is over, the names behind it will live on: Raymond E. Wand, Roy D. Cooke Sr, and Norm Bushman. I got absolutely NO problems with that.

Bugmenot, this is hilarious.... Bugmenot is not Raymond Wand. You'll never know and you're not even close.

Dave when you get your credit rating back along with Gils maybe you can buy a new car to come up and see me.

Thanks Bugmenot!

Uh oh, I think bugmenot's having a little hissy fit.

What does your association think of you threatening to damage the credit rating of other members, Raymond?

When this fiasco is all over, three names will be remembered forever: Raymond E. Wand (a.k.a. bugmenot), Roy D. Cooke Sr, and Norm Bushman. I do NOT have a problem with that at all.

The same thing they think about you threatening. They will bury it. You see what is said here is irrelevent in OAHI as are many things!

I promise you Ray/bugmenot they think nothing of what I do. I'm not a member and never have been.

When this embarrassing fiasco is all over, three names will live on: Raymond E. Wand (a.k.a. bugmenot), Roy D. Cooke Sr, and Norm Bushman. You must be proud of yourself, Ray. Personally, I don't have a problem with that at all.
