and then there is opinion. We all try to protect each other from getting hurt if we can. It's not about blasting someone or embarrassing them, it's about watching out for each other. And I'm not talking about backing out of a sale, as that to me isn't a serious issue that I would bring to anyone's attention. But there are serious hits that some of us have taken due to trusting someone and getting burnt. I do not make it a habit of complaining about anyone of the board, but at the same time, I cant sit back and watch a fellow member get taken advantage of. And to be quite honest with you, if not liking a few people or their comments kept me from joining, it would be my loss, not theirs.

AND do I trust members more than non-members? to be honest...yes. If I know that someone values their membership and standing with the other club members then I believe that they will always try to do the right thing by other members. A non member, is a name on the internet until you've had the opportunity to develop a relationship. In no way do I feel that the board is for members only but there is a bond among members.

This is all just my opinion....right or wrong.
