you missed off mould growth on a wall being misdiagnosed as rising damp

We'll never agree on a lot of things, all I'm doing is trying to make sure the ying and yang are in sync.

Yes my friend I have seen a lot of this industry over many years so please do not try and educate me about bad contractors being in the minority because experience still shows it is the good contractors that are by far in the minority.

Not trying to educate you, unfortunately the 'bad uns' are in the majority, but I'm in the minority and your 'generalising' needed to be questioned.

Live Long and Prosper

Dear Dampdaveski,
I simply give my name, qualifications and profession so that people know the opinion given is from a person who is qualified and professional indemnity insured to give that opinion in the matters discussed which are hopefully helpful to those that posted the query and for persons who choose to read that information.

My PI insurers (RIBA Insurance Services Ltd) would have kittens if I posted in my own name on a public forum reassuring folks that my advice (to potentially thousands of "customers") is covered by my policy. I imagine I'd be up before a disciplinary hearing too.

Dear Dampdaveski,
I am most certainly not advertising for work or seeking work from this forum. As I have said to you before I do not give the Company details on my post that I am employed by, I simply give my name,

Yet you direct people to PCA website and tell them to search under Freelance Surveyors, from where it doesn't exactly take a genius to work out which Company is you!

In the same way that people on the Mortgage board are required disclose in their signature if they are an adviser (see this post for details), I suggest you should do something similar. You may care to note that the above post contains the warning "Mortgage Advisers should not tout for business", and I think this applies here too.

I'm grateful to be able to read the opinions of knowledgeable experts, such people shouldn't be put off posting. When these views are contrary to those of highly profitable mass market industries, I think it suits the ethos of this site very well.

If you have a contrary opinion just express it. I find, two or more knowledgable people intelligently debating a subject, revealing and informative. I would hate to think experts would be put off contributing because they say who they are and what they do.
