While I appreciate Don's willingness to present an alternate idea,
I'm not sure that we could contractually separate life members into
different classes. If anything we do is likely to lead to a possibly
successful lawsuit, that would be it.

Everybody but Randy Bauer, Bill Goichberg and Randy Hough seems to
understand that once you make Chess Life magazine optional and
subscription based, there will not be enough money left to keep the
magazine afloat and the printed magazine dies.

Once the printed magazine dies, the USCF dies too or it survives only
as a much smaller organization.

Why cannot you understand something that seems obvious to almost
everybody else?
