The offer was also sent to John Lennon, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, and Jimmy Hoffa. I mean how cool would that be if one of them joined. Talk about a marketing campaign. We would get so much press!
And then we would definitely be the home inspection organization with the largest number of famous dead people as members

Thanks for clearing this up. It was not a mass mailing. I probably liked you then as much as I like you now.
Nick
P.S. Your'e very funny.     Let me know before you come to my house dressed like that.

Nick,
I'll be blunt. I don't always see eye to eye with you and don't always agree with your posts or methods...but you are one marketing, promoting, advertising sumabitch.

I'll accept your aforementioned comments as compliments. Now how about joining this "marketing, promoting, advertising sumabitch" here at NACHI? Leave the flower print dress.
The fact that we don't "always see eye to eye" makes me want you here all the more.

The ASHI site is stating they have over 6,000 members. I believe that means they have 6,000 people that paid for candidate or member status at one time or another. They are not doing too bad if they are only down to 5,600 after the branding thing. Or maybe they are starting to take off all the dead and retired inspectors!

You may annoy me from time to time, but I still enjoy the banter. Its fun, and no Meisterberger to edit or delets our rotten commentary, or punish us for the occasional transgression.
And, above all, you at least have the balls to tell us all who you really are. That alone puts you a cut above.
Be well...

I thank you for your kind offer, but from what I've gathered, I'm not entirely sure my personal and professional goals are alligned with NACHI's. I mean no offense, I'm just not sure we're the right fit for each other. Until something changes, let's just remain at handshaking distance.
Joe F.,
You're a cantankerous bastard and I like that. When our paths cross one day, I insist on buying you a beer. If we both manage to survive the first round (of drinks, not boxing), it will set quite a precedent for the Middle East.

Nothing can "change" unless you help change it. Stay here with us as a non-member then. We're better of with you on our flanks at least, than not at all.

Thanks. And I’ll add this directed at no one in particular:
If you don't know Kurt Mitenbuler and vilify him based on what other people say, then you are doing yourself a great disservice. He is extremely knowledgable, fun, fair, and terribly cool. I can't speak for any of you, but I need more people like that in my life. Kurt's breed is rare and I'm proud he's my friend.
