I am the Moderator of this forum. As such, it is my purpose to maintain the continuity of its purpose and to make certain that the readership gets what they want.
When this forum was started, its proposed funtion was to ".... promote and provide information available for preservation and/or restoration to original spec 914's (both). 914 discussion here is NOT intended to be solely for the CW (I REALLY hate that designation!)". I am NOT the master of this forum. I am the Moderator - that means that I see to it that the original purpose of the form is maintained, or else modified at the requests of the majority. Several days ago, I put a halt to a certain thread concerning a very nicely prepared, though (in his term) unoriginal 914. You cannot imagine the heat I've taken from this! Regardless, I promised that I would take the issue to the readers of this forum. Remember, I am the MODERATOR - not a sanctimonious dictator. I killed the thread & it was placed on the garage forum. I also said I would take the issue/debate to the readership of this Forum. Not because I feared for my job as moderator (please take this away!). But because I may have offended. Offended who? Apparently several. I don't want anyone alienated from this forum. So, I'll try to sort out the facts here & let the readership have input. The 914 in question, by the owner's own words, is "unoriginal". Yet, it fits the specs for a PCA Parade Performance class judging. It IS highgly unoriginal, yet extremely "clean". And, it can compete in a Parade. The issue here is not the car in question, but any other similar cars. Are we being to non-inclusive? Am I? So, I'd like to "moderate" your responses. I won't interject my feelings, because I moderate. Opine please! |

Hi Pat,
You didn't do anything wrong, you just stated your personal feelings. We all know your passion for bone stock original 914's & I consider you one of my best 914 friends. The problem is other's don't know you like we do & they see you differently. I personally feel this forum would be more popular if more subject matter was included. We can't make everyone CW's and if we did there would only be less than a dozen on this forum. I suggest broader topic's to cover how too's & just answer everyone's questions like before. Even if it's a little beyond normal CW stuff. Our job is to get people excited about 914's & hope they lean to the CW side. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) Tom BTW: I know this has bothered you. Just have fun & don't take this personally. |
