What little meaning about this subject did I not make clear? The ARRL
business, and that's what it has become...a magazine company selling

It is an economic matter with the ARRL. Where would they generate their
income if all those test publications and CD's were made obsolete? That
said, I agree completely with your observations of the ARRL's bad
influence on ham clubs and amateur radio in general.
