If this is true (no legal way to deny a membership), why bother printing the names of prospective members in the Review? I'm a little fuzzy on what the point of that is, at this moment. Don't tell me that it's to enable current members to write in about their misgivings about said prospective member and thereby cause inquiry or investigation which could cause the prospect to be disallowed entry - if that were true, we'd be done with this issue. (run-on sentence acknowledged) And it's certainly reasonable to allow the largest dog-broker in the country into our club, if we have members in our ranks that are considered by others to sell/raise too many dogs. (tongue-in-cheek, you understand). See why ARistas have such an easy target at us? Even pro-animal-usage folks don't see eye to eye. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
