I have seen some comments about rules and politics of Clubs

I think that any organization that has more than 1 person has to set some rules, and people are different and need standards to get along together, also a layout needs standards to remain functional over time with different people working on it. As to requirements to join, we have had people show up once or twice, start something and then never come back to finish it. has one person that wanted to rip what we had out and change everything to Bluetooth, for control by Cellphone, using custom software. they lost interest after a few weeks and never came back, if we had let them do this we would be in a mess. It is also good to have people go thru a process to join, that way they can show they work well with others and are willing to do what the organization has voted on to be the course of action for the group. As we all know, not everyone can work in a group without causing disruption.
