RE: The new EVP
Whatever is said will be far from the last word on the matter, of that you can rest assured.
Why don't you read my entire post, rather than jumping on one issue and running with it?
Smith never did answer what was asked of him, and in fact, when the heat was turned up, ran away from the thread, and never did return. Whatever you think of Horrace, he was man enough to stay with it from beginning to end, and did not cut and run.
The issue of the PPP is important, and is a very large bone for the membership to swallow. This fault filled plan has already cost the membership a quarter of a million dollars. All this for the benefit of about one thousand members who can't vote, or have a voice in the organization that is supporting their hobby.
There is still the issue of conflict of interest, and the issue that those outside the AMA were allowed on the committee, and the wishes of the majority of the membership was ignored.
Disagree with what you wish. It's still a semi-free country. I still think that there is more to your being here than you admit. There is no way that someone with as little experience as you have in the hobby would have been as well versed with the operation of the Academy as you are. I trust you about as far as I trust Smith. I can spit further than that.
