<DIV><SPAN class=940275616-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hold
on, AMA really do need to aim for the middle of the target. Don't blame the
organization.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=940275616-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'm
just saddened that MA is no longer devoting a portion of its pages to the
healthy cross-pollenation between different areas and intensity levels in
the hobby, as a policy.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=940275616-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Eric's
points should be well taken (and I know this 'cause I wrote for Bob for many
years): the regular columns are for this sort of thing.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=940275616-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>That's
why my ears picked up when I read Tony's comment.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=940275616-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'm
just dismayed that the Sunday flier thinks that the "Indianapolis Effect"
doesn't work to his advantage.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=940275616-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
typical AMA member (not some behind the scenes big-brother) is demanding that MA
stop printing the stuff. Funny, they could just flip the
page!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=940275616-17062003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>That's
why the Bradbury reference.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

better!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

take on the situation is that AMA has become a business that is driven by the
hobby industry and is more interested in new members and growing it's
membership than in taking care of the things and people groups that brought it
to where it is today.<BR>Seems to me that good leadership should be able to
provide both.<BR>Buddy</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
