On another thread there has been discussion about false identity, licensed or un-licensed inspectors, etc.

At first I thought that the person questioning another's identity really needed to get a life, or just had too much time on their hands. Then we have a couple of false identity posters that everyone knows who they are, and just kind of ignore their posts.

But I guess what got me thinking this time, was the response from the NC inspector that seems to not exist. His response was tacky to put it mildly. Here he is busted that his identity is false, so his response was F U. Nice!

Now for Brian to verify identity and certifications of all the members here would be impractical, if not almost impossible. But we really should be able to know who we are talking to.

I think someone a while back suggested using a credit card to sign up, and verify identity to use the forum. I don't know the logistics or costs of such an undertaking, but i do think it's a good idea. Even if it was a minimal $20/year to cover costs.

Just my thoughts because I had too much time on my hands this afternoon.
