"I suspect that if you knowingly misrepresent this information in your application, your FRIA status will be permanently revoked. It behooves each club (and really us all) to get this right."
Hasn't that what I've been pushing for all along? As opposed to the EC member who said that the borders really don't matter?
I will probably regret diving into this, but you have heard me say many times that you make many valid points. Where I personally get frustrated is how every conversation devolves into a diatribe on why "the AMA is bad". It seems as your sole objective is to vilify and ultimately tear down the AMA. I have no objections to pointing out the AMA's flaws and where they can improve and I have even supported some of your assertions along those lines. But if there is never a constructive element to the conversation, then not only is it pointless, but it is ultimately damaging to the hobby.
I believe that you are intelligent and well informed on the topics. I believe many of your points are valid. But if the only point of a conversation is to provide a platform from which to say "the AMA is bad" then the it is not worth the time to engage. I hope you do not mind my directness. I do not mean this as an attack or to be an insult. I respect that you have your own (very strong) opinions on the matter and you are free to post and present them as you see fit. But from my perspective, there just really isn't any point to further interactions unless those interactions have constructive element.
p.s.; I speak for myself only, I am sure that others who have been involved in these discussions have their own opinions
