Dear Michael,

  hate fill vitriol and insults were superfluous rants from those who 
either
  did not read through the 5 separate announcements that nothing would 
change
  except the URL address or from those hellbent on demonstrating 
perfectly
  why the public email forum is a horrible representation of the club."


              I would respectfully observe that I did not perceive hate 
fill (sic) vitriol and insults and superfluous rants.   What I read and 
understood was that there is a goodly number of people that are very 
happy with the old email system.   They detailed the help and benefits 
they have obtained from it.    Some well respected participants 
proceeded to buy Panteras and join POCA.   Their comments showed that 
despite it's shortcomings, it has served many people very well. 
Thoughtful commentary yes.  Vitriol, I think not.


  "It is the antithesis of a recruiting tool to attract new members."

              I would point out the situation of Dan Jones where the 
"antithesis of a recruiting tool to attract new members" actually 
encouraged him to buy a Pantera and join POCA.   He has become a figure 
of respect and knowledge in the Pantera community.


             So, we shall wait for the new improved POCA Forum and the 
"new Old Forum" to appear.


                                 Sincerely,   Chuck Engles
