I have a hard time seeing how this push to basically remove AIs is going to help grow the network. I heard about what was going on a few days ago and to be honest, unless I don't have all the facts, it seems counterproductive. The home office has spent the last few years wanting to grow the AI network before embarking on the production of instructional material. Fair enough.

But now, with one fell swoop, half the AIs are pulled from the website. Including mine in Milwaukee. Vanished. So the last few years have been spent cutting the AI network in half? Names I do recognize on there seem new, like they've only been authorized recently and exactly per the home office requirements. I know that my AI was authorized before the new ownership, so I don't see the fairness in arbitrarily striking those who weren't authorized under the new format. Some of the biggest names in the AI network are now not officially recognized.

Whatever happens, I am reminded that regardless of title or designation, the knowledge always remains.
