It was germane, in response to the virtue signaling post.

Yet you want to continue with the broken record. As I said before, slinging mud on a forum is going to accomplish nothing. If you really care about the hobby as you claim then prove it and get involved. What you are doing here is not involvement.
I can get involved as I see fit. And how I see fit is to bring to attention the awful financial decision making of the AMA leadership over the past 15 or so years. "Financials do not spell out the whole picture?" or industry is in a bad place "[r]ight now?" Uhm.... AMA's total assets are DOWN 32% from their peak in 2002! But hey, at least it's consistent poor performance! It's dropped nearly every year. And meanwhile, the AMA's staff costs have risen 27% over the same period.
