Organization Membership
A while back, mmcauliffe put up a poll about membership in cave diving organizations. I need some data on this as well to support what was done in the Jackson Blue economic valuation paper i am working on. Looks like it will be published in the journal Resource and Energy Economics:

OK, I need to qualify my answer of "none", been trying to renew with CDS but having trouble and no response on e-mail...

The link worked for me and I easily found the membership type/level/duration I wanted, but then the shopping cart and billing info was yellow type on a white background. Maybe it's my eyes (I read in the dark as a child, not that other thing), but dang it was hard to read.
I'm sure jim will fix that soon. He's been doing an amazing job with it so far.

Jim, I liked it. Worked great.

Bill, you have constructed a oxymoron poll. You haphazardly used the word "organization" as if it really applied to any of the entities listed. GUE appears to be more of a regiment than organization, and I have not seen anything really organized coming out of the others for many years.

I was using organiztion in the dynamic sense, as in meteorology. Like a hurricane (also a great song by my favorite artist) the degree of organization can wax and wane (mixing a few metaphors here but then i like a good mixed metaphor). I agree that they all appear to be in a waning mode at the moment. Imagine (also a great song) a merger, there might well be some economies of scale to be gained, especially in publications...they could combine to produce just one quality magazine and keep everything else the same. Everyone would probably be better off and no one would be worse off...in economics we call that pareto optimal...it is irrational not to make a move like that. I can only see better offs here. maybe someone else is good at the worse offs?
