[DeTomaso] SEMA - POCA - the two POCA forums

Sat Oct 23 22:35:56 EDT 2010

Not how I read it...

"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."

Like all things in the marketplace, consumers decide by action, VHS over
Beta, Blu-Ray over HD-DVD, Mary Anne over Ginger,
,
Just because you like BetaCam and Tall, vapid, self absorbed brunettes,
doesn't mean we all do!

Leave it alone.
