You have no idea how frustrating Danglerb's posts were, 2 years ago, on Rennlist. Many were in fact deleted by the moderators. Either way, It doesn't matter. What I see here of Danglerb doesn't in any way come close to resembling what I saw 2 years ago from him on Rennlist.

Heinrich, we'll have to agree to disagree when it comes to your comment about " the 928 enthusiasts on Rennlist are you and the 928 enthusiasts on Pelican are us". IMO, the Pelican 928 forum has similar demeanor/mentality as the Ferrari Club of America I belong to where people are tolerant of each other and are simply there to share their love and enthusiasm for the cars, not to mention are patient with trying to help newbies improve their knowledge/learning curve. The Rennlist 928 forum to me is the equivalent to the Ferrari Owners Club "FOC as I refer to it" whose members largely consist of "power hungry" people who need to fuel their egos at the cruel and inhumane expense of others, which is why I occasionally lurk on it and have not become a member.
And yes...all groups are going to have some a-hole or "off the wall" members, but Rennlist seems the club that specializes in them and fosters an environment that allows them to thrive. The threads I've read on Rennlist contain far more hate and suppression than any of the threads I have seen on other Italian, British, or German car forums I partipate in.
In closing, I would like to see this thread "locked" as it is apparent that the opinions of many Rennlisters can't and won't be changed, making this thread a waste of everyone's time and energy.
