With all due respect to those who'd like the content of this forum to be in accordance with their personal preference ..... I say let 'er rip. There are no "trolls" here. (Well, maybe me....sometimes I poke fun at people offline who take offense at benign, silly things like occasional "off-color" humor.) I like all the POCA discussions, arguments, brouhaha, etc., be they endless or not. It's nice to know what's going on, even if we don't ever quite figure that out. People need to hash things out. This is normal and healthy among passionate people who care about things. If this scares off anyone, then let 'em be scared off. I mean, is this is a real car club with real people in it? Or is it afternoon tea-time with the bridge club? Things are going to get messy from time to time, perhaps even a bit nasty. So be it. This is why we all (hopefully) have a fire extinguisher inside our cars-- the damned thing could catch fire at any moment. (Mine did just a couple of months ago.) Apparently our former Prez sparked a hell of a fire here. Well alright then. We dealt with it. No big deal. Thanks again to the BOD who did the dirty work of putting it out. Yet the embers still smolder... Shortt is a fiery guy who evidently did some good things for the club......okay he wound up self-immolating in the process but.... oh well. I see no reason to hate the guy. The lawsuit threats were just pitiful, really. I feel kinda bad for the guy if he was feeling cornered and attacked to the extent he resorted to all that nonsense. Hopefully, his love of the Pantera outshines his unpleasant experience with POCA and he continues to enjoy the car as well as other people who love it. (btw, Facebook makes me nauseous for some odd reason. Haven't been on it since around 2009. I visit only reluctantly when details of certain social events can't be known about any other way.)

It is run by Kurt and it is the Pantera community, many of whom are not in the club and all this arguing does not look good to prospective members. I recommend that you please take this discussion and address it on the poca.com forum. I believe this was suggested about 200 emails ago, maybe 300. The folks on here want to talk about Pantera stuff, like wheels, and wiring, and fun, and Monterey and fun, and going fast and fun, and car shows and fun. Get my point? Don't shoot the messenger, I believe I am not wrong in this thinking. But I know I'm going to get it anyway. :-) Have a great Pantera day.

This is Michael Shortt saying we have done wrong, NO Proof in writing, He has said he will destroy POCA and is by his mouth causing all these problems you allowing this to happen. Time has come instead of saying we spend $8,000 dollars more than we should have, come up with proof that we did. The Color is a wonderful Idea, we will do that, no question it will be in color if that is what the members want. Michael was talking, but no proof that the BOD has seen any thing in writing. So give up unless you can show that we have spend more than should of. Another way of him creating trouble. His calling people names, which we have proof in writing who he called names too. Just remember the BOD works for the love the club, there is no money in the job, so step up and try to a better job if you can do it better. Other thing is you want it over the computer that didn't cost a cent, Jack does that. No money with the printer, after he makes the Newsletter and ready to send to the printer, he sends a copy to the members who request it by email. so lets put this problem to rest and pick up and go forward. I've been in the club for 41 years we never had problems before. Judith McCartney, Membership Director & Fun Rally coordinator.

Has there been a poll to determine how many members really still want paper!! I would say they are in the minority. Our POCA membership database (if there is one) should reflect whether a member wants a paper copy of electronic copies. Stop sending out paper products that end up in the trash can 1 day after they arrive. Same Same for the newsletter. Let the members who want paper get them, but don't waste printing and mailing to paper that just will collect dust in a closet and eventually get thrown out.. IMHO.

That's not pocket change. It's significant and it works out about $10 per member. If it was a $1,000 difference, I'd say no big deal to keep everybody happy. It's just being thrown away right now.
