Both Franklin's and Mike's posts hit the nail squarely on the head , in all aspects of life appearances matter .

And it sure appears our AMA wants a foot in both worlds , hobby & commercial operations .

Should our AMA embrace such a diluted mission , "jack of all trades , master of none" , Or stick to what it's done best for 80 years , advocate for our hobby only , and let the commercial side take care of itself ?

If it were put to a vote , my vote would be of course to concentrate exclusively on the hobby , even if it means forgoing the huge influx of commercial dollars .
