[DeTomaso] the registry and poca

[shawkins777 at comcast.net]

I recently logged onto the Registry and whether I agree or disagree with how he's chosen to set it up, it is becoming a good resource on researching Pantera's. I applaud him for taking the time and effort to at least attempt an on line Registry of Pantera's. To my knowledge no one else has attempted this.

Most of us don't see the Registry as a real registry but more of a blog; a 
forum for entertainment. 

Bill Van Ess's was a real registry. 

When Chuck started the registry he asked for input. Many of us said there 
were things we didn't like such as being required to register. At the time 
he told us we could kiss his ass. 

That's fine we don't need the blog. However shortly thereafter Chuck is 
begging each of us to join. Uhm...no. 

Latter in a discussion on our cars he references our cars in his registry 
as "fact" when none of us put our cars in the registry; and the info 
presented was wrong. 

Many want nothing to do with it because of this and it has become 
something of entertainment more then reality.
