... "With such a large increase, shouldn't the board open LM status to all current members? Wouldn't that be fair?" .... Stu Grant

I said that you were the only one who suggested opening LM status to all current members. Who else made that suggestion (which would require a Constitutional ammendment) besides you?

Additionally, I think this discussion belongs on the club message board, where some of the club officers may respond. With that thought in mind, I will refrain from posting any further on this subject here on thechipboard. Others may do what they wish.
