You are really making a LOT of assumptions and conjecture in your posts.

Stating you are a title insurance "underwriter" would indicate that you work for a title insurance underwriter, but it appears you work for an abstract company? So that's confusing.

You also mis-stated what I said. I never said I was in the business of discounting. I never said I was doing more work for less money. I said the opposite.

 In many states title insurance underwriters are streamlining search procedures based upon data from 10's of thousands of orders that indicate that many shortcuts can be taken without adding any significant risk to the likelihood of claims. 

 If we are going to meet the needs of our customers, homeowners, lenders, realtors, we need to find ways to speed up the process and still put out quality products. Every major title insurance underwriter is striving to do this to keep up with the market. Abstractors who refuse to adapt will be left behind.
