Even though I don't agree with him at all on the DPA/ALPA discussion, I had a similar reaction to your post. If you're going to talk about the strengths of ALPA, or the weaknesses of DPA, you have a lot to work with.

ALPA's approach to MEMRAT is probably not on the top ten.

I've been ready, willing, and able to vote on a lot of significant LOA's, but alas, my participation has not been required. The real lever we have is in electing good reps, and booting them if we're dissatisfied. That's about it. Furthermore, considering the various NDA's, I've been having to trust my reps to make the right choice, even though I can't peek over their shoulder at the data, to confirm they've arrived at the right conclusion.

DPA looks like an inferior product to me. I don't see the plan, and I don't see the point. myALPA comes with a number of better features, but an unlimited MEMRAT plan isn't one of them.
