Interesting point. Do we have no choice to change?
The initial question of this topic is along the lines of "do we get value" from the AMA. I am in the "yes" camp. The drill-bit analogy is appropriate; I don't care if it is the AMA or Judy's Aeromodeler's Association.
Financials crept into the topic. I am annoyed at the AMA financial actions and situation. However the financials are independent of whether the customer derives value.
