I'm of two minds here. I think being inside an organization is often a
way to effect change. After all, that's why I was a registered Democrat
the whole time we lived in NY, Democrats were where the power was. Never
gave up on being Libertarian.
So I don't think I'd NOT join the NMRA. I think there is value in
working for change. I let my membership lapse years and years ago but I
may reenlist.
Yet there is value to the LTMA idea as well. Can't we do it as a SIG?
G Scale used to be looked down on as toylike but now has wide
acceptance.
