I think we all get the point...

I don't think I would pay $5,000 or $50,000 for a life insurance policy if I didn't think I would benefit from it. But I might buy a $500 policy if I knew I might be able to help direct the managers of the fund which might result in better benefits for all the policy-holders, including myself. But then I could just pay the standard annual premium and receive the really great quarterly dividends that the "fund" provides and call it even.

It really has nothing to do with a 'level of dedication' but simply what one wants to give and receive.

I know it is a dead horse, but I simply don't agree with that, long term annual members should be given some sort, as you say "level of dedication" they have paid most of the life membership and to be told they don't have a say is wrong, maybe a discount on a life membership to those that have been annual members for ten years or more but to write them off and say that, is just wrong. Now I'm out of this and going deer hunting.... Eric

Thanks John but I am done with this conversation. I appreciated our conversation the other day however.
