i'm struck by what a generally 'so nice' thread this is..so necessary, too. lots of irritation being openly expressed at one another, based solely on our choice of porsche. clearly it has done an excellent job of delineating those of us who generally 'enjoy geeting along' with those who are simply *******s..both sides know to which group we belong and have unapologetically spoken our mind to that affect. to some, offending people anonymously is always good fun, some of us take some measure of offense to it. i doubt anyone here would actually come to blows over any of these comments, but i think overall it's been a black eye to the community to see it played out so publicly on our forum. if we needed a reality check to remind ourselves of our basic 'humanity' and the fact that our subtle intolerances are not simply 'tongue and cheek', but often reflect our true attitudes were we all in the 'same room together'..one needs look no further than this thread. being the idealist that i am about people, i lose an iq point every time i read an update of this thread only to catch the latest anonymous insult. don't get me wrong..there's been plenty of hilarious banter on the board over the years, but this one borders on having that edge that really wants to raise a nose up on each other. i personally don't care for that, but it's my right to say so.

that's the most sense i've read in the whole thread (not that i read the WHOLE LOT!). i don't much care for the topic (being polite) but you're right this forum has a unique community spirit. i just get (sometimes) irritated when threads get removed that have far more tech content.
