Hmmmm????
Joe, as you are aware the information you posted to support your post on the ownership of the Trademarks is old, outdated and no longer valid, most likely why you posted it in the first place. It reflects the time when ASHI did own the rights to EBPHI. This has never been hidden and is even stated on the EBPHI website under the history of the exam.
As Mike showed you, all of that changed in 2005 when EBPHI become completely independent and self sufficient of any third party influence. In fact the NHIE is the only home inspector exam that can say this. All other home inspector exams are influenced by membership organizations, and this is why the NHIE is in the majority of licensed states across the country.
You ask why ASHI accepted the NHIE over other alternatives? Could be that their were no other exams that met their needs at that time.
