Be big
Think beyond yourself. If someone just wants to use the forum then fine, I will help pay for that. If some want to race then I am fine with my dues helping that. If some want to cruise then I am fine with my dues helping that. Want to have a get together at a boat show. Great! Use some of my dues for that too. For crying out loud we are talking about $10-15 dollars more per year for pople who can already afford to have boats! This is a tempest in a teapot. I agree with John. Name the thing you want but aren't getting. Put your real issues on the table. Identify yourselves. If you can't do those things then please stop whining.
