Canadian home inspector associations now claim rights to the entire alphabet. It was only a matter of time.😉 Have you gotten letters, yet, from SMOOCHI, TWICHI and MYBUTTISICHI? ---

> [@gromicko](#): > > I told them they could have it for $20K or $10K and dinner with Paula. CAHPI, due to foolish, inept and greedy leadership for the past four years, has become a toothless joke. They have spent a small fortune on dumb legal moves during the past couple of years, and their members have watched it happen. Heck, they even had their lawyers send me a Cease and Desist letter last year because I sported a license plate on my vehicle that says CAHPI 1. My kids gave it to me when I was CAHPI President nine years ago, but CAHPI still feels I have no right to it. Well, I still have it and will keep it forever. By the way, Ms. Clancy hails from Sarnia, Ontario. Bill Mullen Sarnia ---

The fax was sent on 4-4-06 and the deadline they gave you was 12-8-10. Wow that’s nice of them. Call Mike Holmes he’ll fix it. ---

No, the fax was me sending it to me to convert it to a pdf. They sent me the nasty letter back in November. I immediately made the offer with the $10K deal (No, I wasn’t joking), but she turned me down. ---

Fight them in court Nick. Their claim that the name CAHPI and trademark are well known across Canada is demonstrably false and that would negate their claim. In a short while you will bankrupt them. ---

I think George is right . I went against OAHI ,( CAHPI/ONTARIO) they spent about $40,000.00~ and finally settled out of court with me and gave me $1,000;00 . I do not know if they have ever tried to fight any one since . They have little money and no Proper ideas on how to do things . I expect they will put their tail between their legs and run for home .

They should have done what Michael O’Handley did when he wanted/needed something from me recently. He called me and asked me for it… and I gave him what he wanted/needed. Tone is everything. ---

They do have a cute attorney though. But when she threatened us with legal action, I got this weird urge to spank her. 😉 ---
