Default Dear Rennlist members

I am posting this since I have to get this out of my chest. Please read!

I joined this forum about 4 years ago when I bought my 997 GTS. I became a little active on the board when I was waiting for my .1 gt3. Now, I have been back as I am impatiently waiting for the .2 Gt3 to arrive some time in December.

So! Long story short, after reading most of the threads and posts, I have been humbled… I do not have a Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. accounts. I’m the guy that likes calling you vs. texting you. Hence, for me, this forum was a hypothetical entity that I really could not imagine people on the other end. However, I have realized that I was, yes, ignorant. I have enjoyed following this forum and reading your posts. Hey, any time I see a Z356 or CAlexio post, I smile and cannot wait to read it. I have seen respect; disagreements between Nick and Neanicu about MT vs. PDK remind me of Ron Burgundy comment: lets agree to disagree, lol. Oh yes, purposefully misspelled witty comments by Mooty. I can go on and on. I’ve also noted that most of you put lots of thought behind your comments. Makes me cringe. I have been surprised, in a good way.

That said, I have realized that I do owe an apology to all of you guys. I have posted some, let’s say, stupid comments that I had not put a single intelligent thought behind. I may have offended people. I hope you can forgive me. When Dr. Joe said he made lifelong friends here on RL, I was like WTF is he talking about? But now, I understand. I truly hope one day I can put faces behind the names I see on this forum.

OK, did it

I've been on here for almost 15 years and I've yet to post anything intelligent.

So you have a way to go.

The ones that should apologize never do

I'm not a Facebutt/Twitter kinda guy either.

Your name doesn't raise any red flags

Very thoughtful on your apology but totally unnecessary. None of us are perfect and I still enjoy all the comments.

Speak for yourself. I'm perfect in every way. Just ask my dog.

OMG we have a human amongst us , I would have never figured as such amongst all these Alfa folks;
Gago1101 no worries man as you aren't alone in the non twiddle diddle can't stick your face in a book to snap chat about it , some folks hear do get pretty serious and many so accomplished it can be a little intimidating . to have the courage to show your hand is true character , Cheers to you Gago!!
and anybody in line for the .2 is a smart cracker jack with a prize coming
