I totally agree with this post,and IMO, for this to happen, 3 changes must occour:

1. AI must become less of a dictatorship and more of a democracy

2. Emphasis must be put on supporting astronomy and the club members, and less on profit. nobody begrudges them profit, but not at the expense of the club members expirience

3. The past grievances must be forgotten about. if this means the two organizations meeting up and just each forgiving and forgetting, or just not mentioning the gripes again. I believe this would be one of the more difficult steps in the process.
