Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...?

My 2 cents (and not $100): I was actually pretty irritated when I received the email describing this "innovation." There's already a certain amount of in-club and out-club mentality (my recent visit to the California Audio Show in July illustrated this) and the last thing we need is to drive more wedges between them. Charging money for whatever these perks are seems a pretty big one to me. I'll be very interested to see if this thing ever gets off the ground. Hopefully the response so far has been deafening silence.

Perhaps we should members of Shark Tank to come on board and say they are 'in', instead of 'I am out'.........

Are the insider forums limited to actual enthusiasts or will we still have to deal with dealers there too?

I have learned that joining anything is to be avoided. Free agency is the way to go.

Maybe some insiders could report back here telling us unwashed what is going on 'inside'? I hear rumors of wild all night parties...
