The theme I was referring to, that I believe is present in this thread, is that the relations between amateurs and AMLU members are NOT good at this time...regardless of what AMLU or anyone else says. In support of this, I simply posted that AMLU members have turned down or stated that they would not be teaching clinics with certain (amateur) organizations.

Nothing more, nothing less. (Yes, Virginia, I can disagree with a group (AMLU) I support.) And contrary to others, I don't so hate and/or despise any poster on this board that I can't bring myself to agree with them when call for.

Thus, WWTB: I agree with your suggestion that relations between AMLU and amateurs are not good at this point.

I was just implying that for many AMLU members the feelings of dislike is/are mutual...as opposed to the feelings expressed in the AMLU's press release.
