Uncle Rick,

You have hit on the exact reasons I post here and also oppose the PPP.

A little background; When I first found this forum, even though I was an AMA member, I was appalled by the apparent disdain many here had of non-AMAers. BTW I have been posting on RCU since the time the user name could only be 15 letters... hence no T at the end of my user-name.

One of the biggest dangers of the PPP is the way it could be used to retard model aviation with the very same mechanism that causes so many here to blindly pledge allegiance to the AMA while degrading non-AMAers with terms such as rouges or outlaws and the like...completely and totally deplorable. I am ashamed for them.

Lately, many of the AMAers themselves have been labeled bottom-feeders by it's own org...simply hard to understand how such a great hobby and "promoting organization" is inundated by such despicable mindsets.
