Yeah, well, Matt lived in Austin long enough to qualify... lol Thats just what Rennlist needs, a "shoot first, ask questions later" moderator! lol Just teasing, I consider Fort Worth to be "home", even tho I don't live there any more.

After watching whats been going on with this, I am glad John didn't act on my offer of help a couple of month ago when Pete was swamped and frustrated. Anyone want to start a fund raiser so that we can convince Pete to stick around? Its a bigger loss than y'all think.

Regards,

Truthfully, it's nothing that a fundraiser would fix. Pete simply doesn't have his 944 anymore and is busy with life and other pursuits. Will he get another one someday? Maybe. But for now, he's got his house, daughter, son, guitar, work, dating, and other interests. It's not that Rennlist isn't "special", it's just that he has other things, you know? I completely understand.

dating, did you say dating. putting dating above rennlist? I think I was once like that... maybe i will ask my wife out on a date, just have to plan it so i can be back on the board before i go to bed.

I know after 911 i escaped working downtown by going into the board. time to come back to reality.

I really appreciate all the kind words but Tifo is right. Life just kinda took a left turn on me and I had to prioritize things and the 944 wasn't in the top ten.
I don't think I did anything out of the ordinary as a moderator and I'm sure any of the others mentioned here would do as well or better.
This place will always be important to me because of the incredible friends I've made here. I owe many of you a great debt. It's just that for the time being Rennlist can't be my top priority and to be a good, effective mod that is what is required.
Now if 100 members wanted to each send me $10 a month I'll stick around and moderate the hell out of this place!












That last part was a joke.













Or not.

Let's just buy you a new car so you'll have a reason to be around more.

And to fill in that avitar. Makes me want to cry every time I see it! I'll photoshop one in there if I must. . .

Yeah!

HELL YEAH!!!

To be honest, with the amount of content 3 mods might be a good idea (John D and two others).

I dont think that as a group we can lose. Pete did an excellent job at what I am sure is not all that much fun. I am sure that whomever replaces him will also do an excellent job. We have a great group of guys/gals here.

Seems like the "smart" thing to do with all the acolytes that Pete has received on this thread is for Pete to get another Porsche!!!!
