Red, Take Cover. The sky is about to fall. I am moving closer to your way of thinking a bit more each day.

As long as the IMAA Leadership continues to simply make the Big Bird folks/IMAA Members to continue taking the poop that AMA bestows on IMAA, then IMAA is going the way of being a total Has-Been. The Leadership could easily negotiate a different Sanctioning Criteria that may help IMAA, however IMO the time has passed for any good to come of that.

In addition, I no longer even try to keep up with IMAA as The Leadership was some time ago simply closing themselves into a shell, with no rime or reasoning as to where they were going. Big Birds are no longer a "BIG" thing. The AMA-IMAA Sanctioning screws the IMAA Sanction right into oblivion. It is dangerous to do an IMAA Event as someone else can AMA sanction a Big Bird next door to the IMAAer and blow IMAA right down the tubes. [:@]

There was a time that IMAA events accepted short memberships, collectable at the event, like AMA does for contests/events. Why did they quit? They never told me!

Glad you brought this up. I was about to forget that I am an IMAA member.
