I like to think so, not that we don't have our fair share of idiots, but there are plenty of wise folks around these boards as well.....

Dunno. Maybe some forum I don't know about with perhaps 30% less OT?

Luis,

I appreciate the spirit in which you offer this post/poll, however I can't help but believe this is just another way of people getting more visably into what I've refered to in the past as a "holier than thou" attitude. Surely not something I believe we, or really, anyother forum should ever get into. I love Rennlist, and really do like the tons and tons of experience and help and friendships one can get from here.

I worry about the outward results, and how this poll might reflect on the entire forum, noting that a huge amount of people do not/will not take part in the poll.
Maybe if you add more choices in your poll........maybe something like,

1: who gives a ****
2: to each their own
3: I'm not sure anyone should ever judge their groups compentancy, as it should be obvuous by its reputation, and number of members.

Ya know, ya really need to add something more, if you really want to persue this poll. I only bring this up because of the recent fiasco here on this list that a few participated in, that I'll just refer to as the " forum raiders". Now THAT sure portrays our list as a wonderful place..........doesn't it? And I tend to believe that a poll like this will tend to support the "holier than thou" attitude..........don't you?

I do have great respect for you Luis, and Rennlist as a whole, and its reputation.

I'm all for the RAH-RAH for Rennlist thing, but just voicing my .02.

Rant off now.

Pelican forums have some VERY bright individuals who dont visit this forum. FR Wilk comes to mind.

What rennlist has going for it: LOTS of avid members.

I am proud to say that since I started watching that board and have been giving advice on it, the bs has dropped to a minimum, along with the number of posts... lol

I know of a Swedish forum called www.rejsa.nu that is not a specific 944 forum but a lot of very experienced 944 guys are on that list. A few of them are here as well.

The beauty of that forum is that the only common thing is that everyone there is into track driving and/or racing so there is a lot of info that is not 944 specific.

I've also got to put a plug in for the KCWS! Altho, as far as I am concerned, its just an extension of Rennlist.
