[DeTomaso] POCA

[Stephen]

I believe that Thomas gets to the heart of the issue with the current POCA
leader.  There have been a number of times that MS has responded to posts I
put out on there on the previous forum in a way that made me wonder why I
bothered to post at all.  It took me a while to distinguish between the
several Mikes that posted on the previous forum - it was the short one that
I figured out first - and I quit reading his responses.  Especially when I
realized that he really doesn't know it all, and that his technical guidance
was flawed as often as it was correct.

I know that the short is doing his best to put together his idea of a better
POCA site.  And I know it will offer a lot.  No doubt.  NTL, his amazing
ability to piss folks off with his truly marginal interpersonal skills is
well known, and totally inappropriate for a person in his position.  

 POCA is not this forum - and, well, vice versa.  3 years ago, when my wife
and I bought 5332, I likely would have put up with the shorts crap to get
what we needed - as I did in the past.  Today - well, 5332 is a dream to
drive, and I have this forum.  Tell me again what POCA does for me - other
than to remind me that some folk make terrible leaders?

1) You can't do much about family, love it or hate it.

2) If you have an issue with a colleague, step away, if it is with
management, get a new job

3) If you have an issue with the current leadership in a club you pay to be
part of, then quitting, even temporarily, would at least send a fairly
strong message that something is wrong, or else the club may not be for you
anymore.

As I've said before, I will likely not renew my POCA membership when it is
due, and if I were ten years younger I would also get a new job.

Life's too short to having to deal with a*holes.

We are all family here. Quit because of one person you don't agree with?
Quit because of a family member you don't get along with? If we all did that
none of us would be working in our day jobs, or have a family at all.
