Thanks Hal! Honestly, I check out the boards almost every day, but somehow I missed your post on this subject... I appreciate your approach. I hope that Chapter organizers and members will make use of the new section. I'll try to do my part.
Thank again!
I realize I used a strong word, but I figured that since the chapter section didn't happen (until today) that someone had said "no" somewhere along the line. It did seem to help stir the pot though.
Thanks Hal. It looks like I'm going to be volunteered to be chapter president next year, but we've got a ton of organizational issues that threaten our continued operation. Hopefully I can get some good discussions going that can help. First though is going back out with the chain saw.

I hope like heck they're paying you and the EAA forum minions well - the goodwill and good faith efforts are precisely what will keep the organization relevant and dynamic.
The opinions and statements of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events.
Thanks for that, Frank, you made my morning. It might sound clichéd, but it's our privilege to serve EAA's membership.
And, in the midst of this spirited dialogue about the magazine and even the organization as a whole, I have to say it's really nice to be able to step in with a quick and easy fix to at least one issue.

Just wanted to jump in and say, as a fellow young person, I feel you on this.
Although I do belong to a local chapter and they're a nice group of guys (I help out with out annual fly-in, pancake breakfast, and Young Eagle rallies) it's not exactly a young man's club, either. I really wish there were more groups/resources for younger folks like us.
I'm not even all that interested in homebuilding (right now) but a group of similarly-aged people who don't have as much money, etc. to put into flying could be quite valuable.
