Default RE: Something unexpected from the AMA

I just don't like the slap in the face friom the MA editorial staff.
When I brought this up to the editorial staff, their reply was indicative that they do not have much respect for the waiver holders. Since they chose to accept an article from someone unwaivered (read untrained to the AMA standard) they should step up to the plate and take whatever criticism they receive.

I took up this crusade to see if they would recognize this judgemental error and make the appropriate correction. One of the two replies (from the MA Editor) was, in my judgement, slightly arrogant and somewhat offensive.
I understand that many of you guys like the issue and the articles, and do not see anything wrong with the AMA flagship publication, (That we are paying for) using NON-AMA MEMBER, NON-TURBINE WAIVERED authors to introduce turbine modeling to the membership at large. I do, and that is my major complaint.

I liked the articles too, and will not criticize the authors' communicative abilities. I am only flaming the the AMA's arrogance and their contributor selection criteria.
