Sad news, if only because people will be losing their jobs.

?ÿ

POB was once a great resource, and their forum produce lots of interesting and informative dialog....like what you get here.

@richard-imrie You're a very bad person for posting that.?ÿ?ÿ

FYI - my impression after meeting Mr. Binge a couple of times in person is that his "internet persona" was 25% him and 75% an act he put on to amuse?ÿhimself.?ÿ ?ÿ

@mark-mayer So true, It really went bad when they took a perfectly good internet forum and ran it into the ground.?ÿ It was obvious that paper was going electronic and they made a good move only to screw it up.?ÿ?ÿ

I was telling a young surveyor today that prior to the internet, POB had small ads for things surveyors used but could not buy locally, and was where I made my first mail order purchase.?ÿ HP 41 with survey card.?ÿ Was very scary giving that credit card out over the phone to someone I did not know in a far away place.?ÿ Now I do it regularly and bing bang we have Amazon.?ÿ Changing times.?ÿ Jp

It's been a very long time since I read Point of Blundering. Years ago it was pretty good IMO, I especially enjoyed the legal articles.

After reading this article in July's edition, written by an unqualified columnist and published by an unqualified editor. I say good riddance.

"The surveyor discovers that the entire 40-acre property is really only 38 acres. This makes the northern half of the property only 18 acres, and not 20 acres."

I'm just a lowly surveyor, but I'm suspicious the northern half of the of the property is 19 acres, not 18.?ÿ Should I suggest to the columnist that she consult with a third grade schoolteacher ??ÿ

If it was a nominal 40 then it is probably PLSS and half would likely still be worded as an aliquot part.?ÿ Depending on the shape of the section, the 1/2 1/4 1/4 out of a 38.00 acre 1/4 1/4 might not be exactly 19.00, either.

Her bio does claim a doctor of law degree, but I don't see any reference to experience practicing property law, nor any training as a surveyor.

@bill93 Per wiki the only place she could practice is probably California, and that is with an additional exam before the General Bar Exam

Taft Law School is an unaccredited, for-profit, private, and online law school in Santa Ana, California. It was founded in 1976 and operates through the Taft University System (William Howard Taft University). The school offers Juris Doctor (J.D.) and Master of Laws (LL.M.) law degree programs.

The school is not accredited by the American Bar Association nor by the State Bar of California. The Law School Admission Council lists Taft Law School as a "Non-ABA-Approved Law School" and explains that most states do not "permit graduates of these schools to take the bar examination" nor "admit to their bars a graduate of a non-ABA-approved law school."

The California State Bar Committee of Bar Examiners categorizes Taft Law School as a "registered unaccredited correspondence law school." As such, its graduates must pass the First-Year Law Students' Examination (Baby Bar) in order to be eligible to take the California General Bar Examination.

@james-fleming yes, the three accrediting operations from the taft website look sketchy themselves
