Those are names that come to mind, but there's many I realize I've omitted. Those I've omitted please forgive me. If I listed every person who was both a contributing member of the forums and a member of POCA this would be a very long list.
My memory was jogged because some of the folks are in the list of recent posts, some are guys I've recently been in contact with, or some are just folks I've recently thought of for one reason or another. I thought of some of them because I consider them friends (I'm getting old and plagued by moments of reflection). Some guys don't post as often as they used to. Some folks have found new interests. Some folks have less time. Some folks don't like me. Its OK to not like me, but I wish people wouldn't let the dislike for one member stop them from being involved with everyone else. Les Gray recently replied to a thread in the ZF forum. Mike Dailey recently replied to a thread in the engine forum. Both posts were noticed and appreciated. Steve Liebenow posts off and on in the Mangusta forum. Steve is cool ... anyone who likes Mangustas is cool.
Our forums, for which I am merely the current caretaker, have reached a point where we have months with a peak number of page views over 900,000. That's over 30,000 page views per day! With numbers like that you can bet that most Pantera owners and enthusiasts around the world, including POCA members, read the posts here even though they don't contribute. Like you, I wish they would contribute. This community waits to welcome and embrace them.
