RE: Dave Brown's Dumb Things article
I hear that same complaint from CL and FF guys....
"Why didn't the AMA buy us a field?"
RC guys often say the same thing.
I was at one very prominent CL club, and they all hated AMA to a man. They had found a field, and they expected AMA to BUY it for them. AMA was willing to co-sign on a loan, but the members themselves felt AMA should just PAY. None of the members were willing to sign on the loan with the bank, and the club was unwilling to spend their $15,000 club treasury on the downpayment, they wanted the money for field improvements after AMA just BOUGHT the field for them.
Seen a bunch of that kind of thing. Same as RCers. About the same ratio of anti-AMA or anti-DBers as RCers. Which is to say, an overwhelming majority are pro-AMA and pro-DB. Oh, well.
