This is coming from a pretty new club member, who joined last year. I really don't see any "pushing" on this message board. I posted before I was a member and people on this board were very nice and there was never any "hard sell" to join. I joined the club because I wanted to support the hobby and get the Club Mags, which are awesome and worth the price of the dues by itself. I think Andy, Greg and whoever else provides contests, services, etc. for free to benefit the club should be able to provide them as they wish and I thank them for it! It's their website, it's their contest, it's their choice. If someone wants to run his/her own contests that is open to everyone and not just club members, I'm sure no one would complain, either.
