Hi Ben,
It is all about perception and the realization that every word that is said does have an impact whether you are being sarcastic or not. With Nigel/FREA giving preferential treatment to Nicks bogus CMI, what is one to think. As for the financial support I would expect no less from a company who is trying to sell their product. I have also supported FREA for many years, and I don't expect to see post like this from a companies representative.

I just want to reiterate that the comment I left on the NACHI board was sarcastic. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to interpret when written as opposed to spoken. Whereas you thought I was joining in on the ASHI bashing, it was quite the opposite. FREA supports all associations ( I was just at the ASHI GLC show) equally and we are non-denominational. We have continually given financial support to ASHI through sponsorships just the way we have done with NAHI, NACHI, CREIA, etc., etc.
Further, do you really think that I would seriously make a comment like that which would completely alienate FREA from ASHI. Despite being a stranger for all intents and purposes, pleae give me, and Nigel for that matter, more credit than that.
