[DeTomaso] Fwd: This list versus new POCA site

Sat May 21 10:14:18 EDT 2016

   Dennis,
   I think you have a great view on how it's really supposed to work.  If
   a person enjoys the on-line format, it's -there- for them to use.  If
   they like this format, it's there for them to use.  If they like both,
   it's there for them to use.
   I think about how I got to the PI forum and see postings from Jack
   DeRyke, who also posts on this email list.  I'm a members of many
   on-line forums and I go there when I need to, but I'm more dedicated to
   this list and as Chuck Engles pointed out in another email, this is
   like walking into a pub and sitting down among friends with a pint of
   beer and just shooting the breeze.
   An on-line forum can be that way too, especially if you get email
   delivery of all the postings; though you still have to go on-line to
   reply.
   The new POCA forum has pretty much the same features as the old on-line
   forum that was on the old web-site, but it hardly got used.  I tried to
   stimulate some use early on, but nothing much happened.  The new web
   site is more exciting and has the added benefit of tracking actual
   memberships as well.  That part doesn't work as well for folks who are
   a little Internet shy or who don't have email, but it's what I think
   is  a step in the right direction; I'm just not sure I agree with how
   it's all being kind of forced on people.
   But I agree that both formats are viable and useful.

   Larry, I've tried the new forum also and don't see anything wrong with
   the tool.  I'm sure with some care and feeding it could be great like
   the PI forum, once populated with great content and activity.
   Personally, I prefer the bulletin board type forum like PI or now the
   POCO forum over the email list. Easier to organize and find
   information.  This email stream is like sitting at a big table with a
   lot of your friends having several conversations at once about
   different stuff. You'll miss something sometimes, and have no idea how
   to search the years of history to find stuff.
   Having said that I gotta remember as SOBill says "the main thing is to
   keep the main thing the main thing". For me, the main thing is new and
   old friends with a common interest in great cars.  So wherever I find
   those great people, I will go and adapt to whatever tool they prefer.

     All,

     I have been active on the new POCA forum. (Please don't hate. I like
     new and shiny things)

     It is much like the PI forum, but not nearly as intuitive or easy to
     use. Smart phone use is quite trying.

     What I noticed today though was the volume of that new site versus
     the volume of this resurrected email list.

     I think I'm being conservative to say the posts here outnumber the
     POCA forum by at least 10 to 1.

     Not sure what that means, but it must mean something..........

     Just saying.  ;-)

     Larry -
