In our last several discourses there was a time when I was going to nominate you for President of AMA. Then you displayed that you knew absolutely nothing about the AMA membership classes or what the AMA President qualifications are.
That thread was entitled "Qualified to be AMA President??" or there abouts. Of course, since it quickly disappeared, I'm sure you have a Budd here that accommodated you. At least I don't see it anymore.
Here it is, genius:

Let me try to make this simple for you. Unlike you, I have never aspired to AMA office. You made one of your MANY offhanded comments to the effect that I should run for AMA president. The personal investment in my response to you was limited to the time it took me to type it. Still, I stand by my statement.

In my humble opinion, I would make a good AMA president. I still believe that. That statement does not mean that I would ever aspire to said office. Nor would I spend my limited free time in an effort to understand the applicable rules and regulations pertaining to the acquisition of this office.

I just do not have the free time to spend fixated on the AMA. I do not have the time to ruminate about my failed attempts at campaigning for AMA office. Perhaps when I am retired, I might have achieved the qualifications required for AMA office. Perhaps I will have engendered the level of support within the membership needed to secure an office on the EC (perhaps even the office of President).

When I attended the EC meeting I referred to, it was the first time in my life I laid eyes on Doug Holland. He presented a estimated figure for the costs to build an indoor flying site. I dare say he had to be coaxed into revealing the outrageous number. The figure was met with laughter and a good bit of banter by most of the EC.


OOPS I have just realized I have typed too much...a guy like you is not worth the 5 minutes of my life just wasted on your tripe. Maybe I will forsake a steak or 2, maybe one less Cohiba, all in an attempt to regain this wasted 5 minutes.

I remember the thread Hoss references and the one you have linked is not it.
