And I hope that every company that gets to represent their brand here, or in the other POrsche forums, do spend advertising or give other support to the people who make these sites happen.

Back in the day, forums were for wild-eyed idiots like me with too many Harbor Fright tools and too much time on their hands. Many excellent products and even companies have been built starting with a stupid question or idea proposal on a forum.
If I have any bit of advice that may be worth anything, it would be this: If you are selling something, stay off the forums. Trust me, no matter how many people trash your product on a forum, no body cares. You will not loose sales. Nothing will change. If you feel a response to defend your product is required on a forum, do it like this: "
I know exactly what you want. Call me and I can explain how we can do this for you. Looking forward to hearing from you".
Last word on this, you can't win an argument on a forum. There are too many people who have much more time than you, who have nothing better to do (or even worse, retired), and they will never quit.
