Further, there is a not so fine line between public relations and the discussion that take place in forums.
Do you really think it's in MAAC's best interest to host their critics on a site intended to promote the hobby?
I did a demo this weekend, and handed out a bunch of MAAC brochures. I think the MAAC site is a good place to send potential hobbyists, with some work it could be a great site. If the "anti-whatever" dollards were permitted to post their soapbox opinions there, I would have a much different opinion.
