Re: [MBZ] Struts/MBCA
No. I am banned for life from the MBCA. Long story that I am not going to get into here. In a nutshell, the MBCA in the late 1990s was very fragmented and run by a small group of people for their own per$onal benefit. Some of us challenged them and in the process were banned. I was one of a number. I have been invited to re-join since then, but I see no value in it - especially if I can use the forums for free. The STAR would be good for the bottom of a birdcage but I don't have a bird, not to mention newspaper is pretty much free.

Re: [MBZ] Struts/MBCA
I have an area director that was in my corner the whole time, and he is willing to vouch for me whenever I would want to return. I am invited to all of the chapter events and have always been welcome. I just don't have the time nor the inclination. The whole tenor of the organization and the local chapter has changed, and in a way that doesn't appeal to me. Our chapter is definitely better than it was, for sure, but it's more late model youngsters and some of the legacy people, and a very small, if any, contingent of DIY sorts of folks. I've got plenty of opportunities for social gatherings within my own circles. Just because the people who attend own MBs isn't a qualifier.
