That may be the best post on EAA Chapters I have read in a while.
What doesn't bring them back:
Ignoring new faces.
Bashing experimental aviation or one particular model of experimental aviation.
Having no communication with members.
I wondered for some time if this was me, but the more EAA members I talk to, the more I realize it is not. The problem is real.
