When EDIG applied for Naz...
Fred & RP had to have known, they would be denied, simply based upon board membership. They didn't meet the requirement ...
Further, the application process is much more than just an application. An investigation is done, involving books , product, revs, etc., as Naz wants successful businesses to apply, and be successful. They must have further found that EDIG would not have enhanced the market image. Realistically, EDIG had less going for it then, then they even do now! LOL!
God help us had EDIG been granted membership! Naz people did their job... The pump worked, and Fred, RP, and Woody did well. Woody reportedly did 8 figures well. I'm sure a number of posters, from then did well too.
