I agree that member should count for something.
I was furious at the Marshall last year when the president
wanted to bring in a new man as treasurer who was
otherwise respectable, but had only joined the club
recently.

There's no harm in listening to an non-members opinion.
But in its the uscf's ED elected by the members who will
decide.

BTW my membership expired last month, so you can flame
me a bit too.

Wayne,

My point is this:

Which member would you rather have. The dues paying member who is willing to
chip in and to help turn things around, or the non-dues-paying "member" who
is
very willing to stand on the sidelines and criticize?

Kevin,

Actually your original point was that you had a real problem with Bruce's level
of criticism given that he was not a USCF member.

I still agree with this.

Whether Bruce is a member or
not is irrelevant regarding his criticisms.

I disagree with this.


Your new point is a bifurcation, however, I'm willing to have full dues paying
members who do or don't chip in, subsidized members who do or don't chip in, as
well as potential members who criticize or not.

Regards,
Wayne Praeder

We believe in two different things then. I believe in members.
