Yes, but it doesn't have to be an either-or proposition.
The PI forum exists. The POCA forum exists. You don't have to stop posting
here to subscribe to either forum. You don't have to cancel your account on
either forum to post here. So the whole debate is kind of senseless - it may
serve to inform those that are unaware of the other format, but nobody is
required to choose one system or the other...

I agree with Mikael, and add that once logged onto PI's forum, you can
select "remember me" and subsequent logs-on are not necessary- until each
time
they upgrade their software. But the 'remember' involves using the same
computer and location so if you have two, or move around the country/world,
the
'remember me' sometimes doesn't work.
Second good thing: once 'remember me' is selected, I can click the daily
e-mail reminder, click on the 'DeTomaso Internet Community' line at the top,
and the entire Forum opens immediately with no typing and no log-in. You can
read everything & answer posts on subjects you'd not previously selected.
On the downside, the PI Forum date in the e-mail is irrelevent; it opens
the current page regardless which post you start with. So getting old posts
means going back a page or more if you're interested in the whole thread and
you miss a days post when its current. Their archive search engine is
problematic as well. No one's perfect....
In the words of Bob Park, a U.S nuclear physicist, 'The Internet is the
depository of the World's knowlege. It is also the depository of the World's
B.S. There is no filter except between your ears'. So take ALL forums posts
with appropriate grains of salt... J DeRyke
