good service from AMA
Good service from AMA. Three days ago (thurs AM) I called AMA to request a replacement membership card. The nice lady on the other end of phone in Indiana assured my that she would put a replacement card in the mail that day>>>>>>Well guess what, she did and I recieved it today's mail (Saturday). Only 3 days, that's good service!!! Thank you AMA. I for one am glad to be an AMA member and don't understand why some flyers won't join and/or bad mouth AMA. (I think maybe they are just too cheap to pay the dues) Anyway, I want to give them an "attaboy", or should it be an "attagirl" this time?

BTW how long have you been a life member? Do you also give extra donations every year?

You couldnt give a compliment to the fine job the staff does
without dropping in a blatant insult to non-members?
Maybe, just maybe folks you insult would badmouth your group less
if you didnt feel the need to turn a compliment of others into an insult of them.
Thats just a theory I have: Insult them less and they insult you less.
We could have had such a nice thread
talking about how Ilona and crew are likely cyborgs sent back from a future AMA-
They perform member services at levels way above what humans are capable of.
But no,
we have yet another thread with needless junk attacks in it, starting with post number... uh... one

RE: good service from AMA
Thanks Red, I had a wonerful Easter Sunday and I hope you did too. My family and I celebrated Easter last night so that left this beautiful Georgia spring weather to be enjoyed at.......where else, my AMA club's flying field. I got to fly 3 airplanes that had been pushed to the back of my hanger and not flown and enjoyed in 3 years. I, like most, keep adding newer and larger planes to the air force and then ignore some oldies but goodies. I dug out my Rascal 40, my 1/5 scale NE-1 Cub, and my classic De Bolt Live Wire Champ. Fun,fun,fun. All good flying models. Yes, life is good, my cup is half full not half empty. Maybe more than half full, somewhere around three quater full I think. I hope all my fellow AMA modelers and non AMA modelers got to enjoy the day as much as I did. It sure beats going thru life bitter and hatefull. Have a blessed day.

Oh, and I forgot to mention....I was so excited be the heading to my AMA flying field on this beautiful day, that I stuck my 2012 AMA decal on my truck window before I left. My truck is red but the baby blue AMA "get the bug" sticker looks quite handsome on it. AMA included another sticker with my repalcement membership card so the least I could do was stick it on the truck.

RE: good service from AMA
Red
?????
I perceive?
Are you kidding me? Thats the best you can do
... that calling folks cheap is only an insult in KE's perception?
lets test your theory Red,
Let's see if calling Red cheap is 'perceived' by Red to be an insult
I think maybe Red Scholefield is a cheap guy.
There,
now Red can prove that calling folks cheap isnt really an insult,
its only an insult in KE's perception
.... a perception that Red seems not to share
... resulting in no insult to Red in Reds eyes when we call him cheap
No harm no foul when folks say Maybe Red is a cheap guy, right Red?
Or is the term cheap insulting when its used on you
but not insulting when slung at folks you dont like?
Guess its how one perceives it eh?
where you perceive non-members are being insulted and

RE: good service from AMA
Kid,
It is perfectly fine when the AMAers enumerate how Non-AMAers are cheapskates and unsafe... Paying the â€dues" to AMA of $58 a year automatically makes you a safe flyer and not a cheapskate... This forum has been over this again and again...When are you going to learn that???

I'll just let the people that know KidEpoxy and Red Scholefield make the call on this.

As a non AMA flyer, I took that as an insult. Just my opinion; however, when you posted that you hoped AMA and non-AMA flyers enjoyed the beautiful day, I thought that was great. I can't help but wonder if the last wasn't posted to cover up the first post. Hmmm...... Thoughts from a nobody.

James,
As a non-AMA flyer tell us-
If that part you bolded wasnt there in the the first place,
what would you opinion of the post / threadstart be?
Would you feel any need to say something bad about the AMA over it being posted?

It would have been nice and a totally different thread if the OP had just posted something good about AMA’s great service without taking a shot at modelers that aren’t AMA members.

[8D] I also believe that the compliment to the AMA didn't need the baggage of the non member slap . The AMA done good . Great ! ..... Why bring a negative into that by bringing anything else into the post ? Rather than dirty an attaboy thread with other matters , I'd rather see the OP make a Kudos to the AMA thread , and then another thread about non members if he felt they should or need to be a topic for discussion .
I just fail to see what the topic of non members has to do with the great service we as members are getting , and don't think the two topics should be wrasslin for elbow room in the same thread , that's all ....

I would hope you would be "glad to be an AMA member" for a better reason than getting a replacement card in "only 3 days." You should join my credit union - they gave me change for a dollar bill on the first visit with no questions asked!
