It’s sort of a shame that on Facebook there are a dozen different DeTomaso related pages. It means that a lot of information is either duplicated or lost. Every now and then someone gets a great idea and starts another, but IMO that just splinters the groups even more so.

Well, I totally agree with you all. Unfortunately, POCA has a not-invented-here problem. And they for as long as I can remember. The registry issue is the same.
My pref is the email list. But I would be curious about the Facebook pages. Any suggestions?
