Changes in Highways magazine

Marcus I have been a member of Good Sam since the 1990's. I became a Life member November 2002. I am NOT the least bit pleased with "Your" changes as they DO NOT benefit me at ALL. I especially do not care for you discontinuing HIGHWAYS magazine. You have FAILED miserably in every way possible. In short, A BIG FAT GOOSE EGG.

    A company that does what is best for the owners and not the customers does so right up to the point that it has no customers anymore. I find this entire subject to be absurd. Anyone calling out someone as having "FAILED miserably in every way possible" over a MAGAZINE needs a reality check. YOU ARE STILL GETTING THE CONTENT OF HIGHWAYS MAGAZINE. How many times does this have to be explained? How in the world are you harmed by this change?

    In my opinion, no one can objectively look at the work that Mr. Lemonis has done as the CEO and conclude anything other than he has a personal passion for his job and that he is motivated by doing the right thing. You can see that in his removal of BP products from stores after the oil spill (which I didn't agree with personally), you can see that in his Secret Millionaire appearance, and you can see that in the time he spends to respond to people personally on this site.

    His job is to act in the best interest of >1.7 million members, his employees, and his shareholders. Frankly, I think he is doing a pretty dang good job of it. It is a job that most people here, including myself, couldn't last a month in.

    The hardest job that we as members have is influencing change by getting our collective voices heard when it comes to influencing the direction of a company. To get the pulse of a membership of millions, a company has to try to discover and filter the real collective voices from all of the noise. Flame throwing posts like this do NOTHING to help that. Nothing.


    Well said. These people are making much ado about nothing. I don't see how anybody will be harmed in any way.
  • Global warming has a lot of members in a "ranting" mood. We need to get out there and camp!

    Did you happen to notice all the other "Highways" threads before starting another one?

    As for changes benefiting you, Good Sam is a for profit corporation that does what is best for the owners, not the customers, oops I mean members.
