Talk about revisiting history.
These same questions and apparent problems were the reason I never bothered to renew my at that time, 25 year plus membership of AOPA in the mid nineties. Too much personal politicing (read ego) by a noisy individual threatening members with legal ramifications if anyone that dared to disagree.
I seem to remember that the Board elections were highly entertaining at that time as well.
None of which of course had anything to do with improving the future of GA or the Members.
