Mule did you see the sentence about the postings not having influence? This is big time different than saying the people that post on this forum.
Past that I will agree that individuals working directly with AMA can influence change. Phadreus made a good point about taking things directly to the source rather than making posts on a bulletin board.
Since you have been lurking for some time, you can see that most of what is posted here is just people kiling time and possibly some examples of ADD and dyslexia.

I disagree! I'm no grand fan of the AMA but, I did write them a letter some years ago in which I gave them several suggestions. I also explained in detail the why's and where fores of my suggetsions. Now, years later I see in their policies, activities and comments sufficient evidence to make me believe they either listened to me or to someone very much like me. Not exactly! Not even real close! But close enough for anyone to admit, they listened!
Wonders will never cease!

One thing for certain is the postings on this forum have no influence on the AMA leadership one way or the other.
We are about like the child that has the fake steering wheel attached to the dashboard on the passenger side. We can sit over there twisting the wheel and making our noises while dad continues steering down the path that he has chosen.
Well, now that my coffee has stopped coming out of my nose I can tell you this is the funniest thing I have ever seen. AND it is absolutely true.
It is one reason I will usually implore many of the more strident keyboard pilots to go to the source rather than waste their time here.
Tell the AMA. Go to the FAA. Nail the FCC. Get after that City Council. Share you wisdom with THEM. Why keep it here in our little forum where nothing can really be changed??
Beep-Beep!! Varoom-Varoom. Look Daddy, I'm driving just like you!!!! [&:]
