Gee...That's kind of harsh, isn't it?  How about people like Ken Lay 
and the executives he had working for him at Enron?  Paid way more 
than anyone at ARRL, yet they still affected peoples lives and 
futures.  

I give my Visa card to people who get paid the lowest in the service 
industry just about every day: waiters, hardware/department store 
'associates', etc.   Sure, my card is protected to a degree, but I've 
NEVER had anyone ever use my card for anything beyond what I was 
purchasing. 

There ARE people out there who are working for the sake of what they 
are doing and are not in it strictly for the $$.  They have integrity 
and honor even though they may not be paid well.
