RE: Why I may not join the AMA
Separate what's said here on the R/CU AMA topic, from the realities of the AMA. 160,000 plus members vs. 8-10 people voicing opinions good or bad about the AMA. I can't say all 160,000 member are happy about their membership, they just don't see fit to voice what they feel's wrong, here. I would hope someone whom has an actual issue with the AMA takes it up with someone from the AMA that can address the problem.
Above all, remember the age old adage: Believe half of what you see and nothing you hear(read).
