No one stated you're wrong. I'm just beside myself trying to understand why someone who previously stated they have a six figure income would be so elated about saving $75 a year. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing there's a lot more too it than just $75 year.

As you said, it's a personal choice how people get involved. All I'm saying is that for some, they expect a flying site within a reasonable distance.

Who are they expecting a flying site from? Is it the AMA's fault that "some" individuals moved to a location without a "convenient" flying site an now it's the AMA's responsibility to provide one?

What's reasonable? That's another individual decision.

It is. Many folks I know travel quite a distance to enjoy the hobby.

However, I still contend that if the distances become to great, or the cost becomes too high, the basic economic theory will take over and you won't have enough people willing to spend the money or willing to travel the distance.

You're entitled believe whatever you want. After over two decades in the hobby I haven't seen any evidence of that happening. Many of the clubs in my area with capped memberships have very healthy waiting lists.
