You, sir, make no sense, and you are incredibly misinformed. ISA, FSA, and other associations are made up of people just like me. People who volunteer their time and resources to better this industry. You want to stand on the outside and throw stones at people who are working hard to protect your industry while you cry about your own misgivings. You want to criticize those organizations, and expect them to fight your battles, but you don't want to belong to them. Shame on you. Perhaps you should approach your local association and volunteer to head up a committee for Technology Public Relations, or would it just be easier for you to sit behind your computer and complain. Get involved, and get to know some of these people you are trashing here. You do that, you get involved, and then you come back and tell me how those people are only looking out for their own personal interest. I will waste no more time with you, until you are ready to have an intelligent conversation.

Perhaps those of you who would rather post negative comments here should get involved in those associations and help to change those things that need to be addressed. Then you would really be doing something about the issues affecting our industry instead of complaining.

You're way off the mark here, Erik. "Do nothings"? Really? Did you wake up grouchy and want to pick at any topic you clearly don't understand? What gives you the right to stand on the outside and cast barbs at those that devote a good portion of each day to making the industry better. I've been active in our state and national sign associations for over 25 years and it's bums like you that rant on as to what's wrong but are always missing from the table when the issues are discussed in a fair and open arena (not this sandbox of a forum). I tell you, your words and gross generalizations do nothing but drag the entire effort down, that's for sure. Next time the ISA or CSA Boards meet to discuss ALL the issues confronting the industry, I'd like to see you there. Oh wait, no, you'll be outside exclaiming how rotten the bastards are that are inside doing their best to bring credibility and stability to the industry. Wise up.
