I'm unclear what is that you believe is a monumental waste of time & energy, NAHI or ASTM's foray into the Home Inspection Standards arena?

Personally I believe our profession might be ready for a Standard that is not tied to one of the existing Associations who have all thus far proved to be unequipped to lead us into the new millennium.

Furthermore I would like to see ICC develop the de facto exam for home inspectors. At this point in our profession's development I believe that recognized outside organizations like ASTM & ICC would help our progress.
