Subject: RE: [AISdiscuss] July AIS Bulletin for Emembers 

I know this is not the popular view and I have bit my tongue on this for a 
long time but a couple of recent emails sent to me as a board member have 
made me decide to speak out. I think our life members should be 
grandfathered and get access to everything offered. At a time when we are 
trying to raise our membership, and grow our organization, the grumbles I am 
hearing from our older members, in particular, are worrysome. I think 
alienating our existing members so that we might acquire a few new, probably 
temporary, e-members is wrong. Almost every life member I know feels 
cheated by the decision to leave them out of so many things unless they pay 
more money. How much does an e-membership cost us? If it is already built 
and set up for our e-members, what does it actually cost us to offer it to 
our existing members? It seems to me we ought to be thinking of additional 
things to offer our members to keep them active and happy, not things to 
charge them for. It's beginning to feel like one of the airlines....peanuts 
anyone?
