...."I've flat out said that I like Archie despite the fact that we can't seem to agree on anything ..."

This issue isn't about liking or not liking anyone Stu. It's about the limitations that are currently imposed by the Club Constitution and the restricted leeway that the elected officers have in enforcing the Constitution based on legal opinions from the club's attorney. It's as simple as that. I hope that the BOD finds a way that will allow more club members to take advantage of the current language. However, that may or may not happen.

Personally, I'm somewhat dismayed and perplexed that those few who will be affected by a deadline imposed would take the position of quitting the club because of the clearly spelled out Constitution language ... and then double-talk in their next breath that "it's not about the money ... I'm getting screwed!"
