It is like I said you need to do your own homework/research, and not take what is said at face value as fact and more than likely has come via means of the gossip train.
If you get a chance jump on
http://www.google.com.au and key in certain individuals names that speak the loudest and see what other interests they have in aviation. You may see why these people want to close AOPA down, by saying all these false accusations. It appears ithere maybe some conflicts of interests when look past the smoke screen?
Here are some interesting links I have found and some of these are AOPA members too;

http://www.abc.net.au/goulburnmurray...es/s998475.htm
http://www.asfa.org.au/people.htm I believe “antechinus” is listed here too and a few others. There is a rumour and only a rumour I might add, that some of the people who resigned had contact with asfa. This maybe why some asfa members have spoken out and taken sides with the people who have resigned from AOPA? Who knows why, we all find out one day?

“It appears politics is the big play that is killing AOPA when you see the names mentioned together”
THANKS TO RETIRING COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Three hard working AOPA committee members, Roy Schuh, David Cooke and Jenny Houghton retired from their non-executive
positions following the election. They have all worked incredibly hard for AOPA members over the past years but I would
especially like to mention Roy Schuh who has done so much for general aviation during his 19 years as a committee member. I am
also looking forward to many more achievements that can be gained by hard work from new committee members, Doug Stott, Bill
Hamilton and Russell Kelly

It appears things get very political when you read through all these sites and the list goes on. When you read through you would think some organisations are out to close AOPA down at all costs and take its members to bolster up their numbers. It is a shame these people cannot learn to work together instead of putting mud on each other.
