[F-FT] I joined TRA

I realize that the vast majority of folks won't care about this, but I've publically made statements spanning a few years on this forum that I haven't joined TRA because NAR meets my needs, and because I was somewhat concerned about past problems with TRA.In recent months I've had occasion to travel to a few different 'large' launches that have, in the main, been hosted by TRA prefectures. As an NAR member I've been welcomed with open arms at each and every one, and it's now at the point where my guilt for not supporting TRA has overwhelmed by previous concerns.As part of the 'joining' process, I also became concerned that one of the requirements was that one agree to abide by the TRA bylaws. Given the past years of discussion/concern, I emailed and requested a copy of the bylaws.I received a copy within hours, and all questions that I asked were answered in a brief and expeditious manner -- and all answers met my expectations quite satisfactorily.Because of the apparent ongoing problems with the HPR magazine that TRA offers, I decided to forego that for the moment - but as of now I am a member, and will do my best to work (in whatever minor ways I can) to continue moving TRA forward (a direction that I believe it is heading, by the way).Please note this is a flame-free thread, so if anyone would like to participate in any commentary about this in a calm, non-name-calling manner, please do so -- but take the nastiness and flamewars to the thread down the hall.David Erbas-White

What do you think TRA does on these matters? You are an "insider".

These are 'non issues' to TRA. As such, it does not constitute a matter. It only matters to you.
