Another reason to support POCA as a member. Of course, it is a reason in addition
to (POCA) maintaining this list

And for that we all thank POCA. 

I joined POCA, and Pantera International, back in May of 2001. POCA is still here, PI not so much.
I have no doubt POCA  will continue to survive, if not thrive, through the coming years. 
Its members are the 'can do' Pantera owners who continue to keep chapters active, stage local events and come together for the annual Fun Rally.

The only regret I have regarding POCA is the newer Forum that Mark McWhinney established just over two years ago is basically sitting unused
and wholly neglected by POCA members.  It offers in-post photo abilities, editing capabilities, and several specific topic sections. You can view it
whenever you want, pick and choose which sections to peruse, edit postings, include and edit photos, even create your own cool avatar.  ;-)

For those familiar with the PI forum website, the newer POCA forum is a very close cousin in its abilities. And for those familiar with the PI forum, you must
find yourself wondering if that forum will continue in the years ahead, or join the ranks of the PI magazine and the PI Laguna Seca Corral and Luncheon.
What happens if some day your login to the PI forum just finds a 'site not available' message?

Short of putting a sunset date for this email forum, thus forcing all of us to migrate to the newer POCA forum, I don't know what it would take to see that
newer forum used to its potential. Perhaps the demise of the PI forum would see its members move to the newer POCA forum, but as it now sits it isn't
a very invitingly active site.  

Thoughts?
