OH Yes I'm a Board Member, why should I lower myself to play games with a
bunch of little boys who like to play like their big bullies. Have you ever
thought that maybe I as a Board member have other things on my mind, I own
my
own car and like the information that I am able to read. I only subscribe to
get the Tech information.  Why don't you put the information on the cars
first
instead of chicken-S---Politics

Dear Judy,

I think that you have missed the point of this forum and maybe have
forgotten that this is all supposed to be fun.

I missed the point early on also but now I realize that this, in it's purest
form, is a constant running Pantera / DeTomaso oriented party.  Like all
parties you can visualize the people standing around spilling beer and
talking too loud about whatever is on their minds.  Some of it is useful
information and a lot of it is bullshit.  We just don't get the chance to
spill beer on each other and the volume is always the same.  BUT IT IS STILL
FUN!!!

When I joined POCA you were a very sweet person to talk to on the phone.
You were very helpful with all the information I needed then.  I had no idea
that you were spending 30+ hours a week as your candidacy statement reads.
That is way too much time to be spending at a non paying position!  No
wonder you don't have time to enjoy the party.

You have written a detailed job description in your candidacy statement and
I think you need help.  There are people that would help with the load and
ways to streamline and automate the workload that you may not have thought
of.  Bill Hohnhorst would like to help a lot!

Thank you for all your hard work and effort and if your win re-election ask
for enough help so you have time to come to the party.  If Bill wins he will
need your help and support also.  Either way, secrecy sucks!  And all
politics are chickenshit except we haven't figured out a better way yet.
Autocracies don't last.  Except maybe the IRS.

It is hard to reconcile the sweet person that helped me sign up with POCA
and the angry, bitter person that wrote the message at the top of the post.
