@tt-thanks for posting that list. you can look at it anyway you want to but i'm real glad to see cbai on that list. those are all serious companies with employees and sales. some of them quite prominite. thanks again!
With all the controversy you have caused with this issue of CBAI being on the AHIP list, perhaps I can help you understand things a little more clearly. Let's start with some definitions and synonyms.
PARTNER –(def) A member of a business partnership. (syn) An ally (group of partners is alliance).
ALLIANCE –(def) A organization of people or corporations or countries for a special purpose for general political or economic purposes. (syn) Partnership.
MEMBERSHIP -The members of an organization collectively.
As far as the last word in this equation 'PAID'. That is simply a CONDITION of membership and nothing else.
One could take this to infinity, but all the words you are bandying about are synonymous with each other and in NO WAY constitute any attempt at misdirection on the part of CBAI.
I would say that your version of this is absurd and merely an attempt to create doubt.
