One of the minority here.
I just read through the 2 pages of posts. Now this is my opinion, and yes I understand, just like noses, everyone has one. But please bare with me.
If this is the the type of people who want to be the leadership of the AMA, I'm to say the least, a little concerned. I've read many of the other AMA forums, and maybe it's just me, but, they all seem to be the same. Starts out with a question or statement, then around 5 posts later it goes into the same old name calling and insulting that this one has gone to. Do you gentlemen realize what this looks like to someone on the outside looking in. Granted I believe many of you know each other, so some of it is in jest. But step back and take a look at this forum. Look at it through the eyes of someone who's thinking about joining the AMA. Is this the type of representation you want to show to the potential members who are investigating joining the AMA.

As I said, I'm one of the minority, I have yet to join. And quite honestly I can't see why I would want to, if this is how the rest of the AMA is.

I would really like to hear back from all of you. I'm not trying to provoke anyone, I'm just looking for honest answers to my questions.
Is this how the rest of the AMA operates?
Why should I belong to the AMA?
Thank you
Brad
