[DeTomaso] POCA

[Douglas Kelm]

An oft quoted proverb goes: "A man is known by the company he keeps". In the
car community, this might be revised to "A man is known by the car he
drives". More specifically, in Pantera land, a further revision could be: "A
man is known by the modifications he makes to his Pantera". In MS's case,
ego trumps taste in his attempt to imitate the interior of a car he probably
wishes he could afford (see attached pictures). In his defense, at least he
didn't plaster the fenders with decals of a black horse rampant on a field
of yellow shield!

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?
