The discussion is contentious because for years clubs have told new members nothing more than that an AMA membership is required for membership in the club for insurance purposes. People come in here with preconcieved ideas of what the AMA is and is not. There are not a lot of thinking people that, having been told that the AMA is only insurance, are not going to question why. IF the AMA were only an insurance company, they would have a point. Getting the word out that there is more to the AMA than insurance is a big part of what this forum is used for. In this case, the thread has turned to questions of what, exactly is, and is not, covered.

Modelers are not, by their basic nature, real inclined to do anything when the answer to the question of why is "just because". I believe that the only stupid question is one that is not asked.

If you read the older threads in this forum, you will find the same questions asked, again and again.
