My own opinion/feelings are that when you are criticized and those who would support you aren't aware of it to back you up, it's easy to throw the towel in. I'm glad she is appreciated on S2KCA. I know she organizes meets and works hard for S2KCA. She has made good friends with NSX owners, too.
I wish this were the case, Patricia. If we happen to get together at some meet, remind me to tell you the whole story. You and she are as different as night and day.

I had Raymo's email address some time ago, I should see if I still have it and if it's still active.
Hi Lainey,

I'm surprised and disappointed. I always admired you guys in NESKO. You were a tight, well organized group of what I thought was a bunch of close friends. There always seemed to be something going on in NE. I always thought that NESKO would last well past the end of S2000 production. I always wished that we had something similar here in NJ/NY.

I tried sending Raymo a pm but he hasn't answered. If you do have his e-mail address please send it to me via pm. I'd like to get in touch with him.

Rob

Okay, Ken. I wasn't aware that you knew her. She is stronger in her convictions and beliefs than I am which I see as confidence.

Lots of people moved on. Especially the younger guys who got married, made babies and had no time for a sports car in their lives. I sent you a PM with the email address I had for Raymo. I have emailed him, and I think I emailed him in the past and didn't receive a response. Not sure if the email address is still active.

Car clubs are pretty much the same. There is a core group that are active and stay active. A middle group that are hit and miss. And the final group that lurk or leave.

​​​​​I know we have hold outs for Facebook and people usually are concerned about privacy issues. For me, I don't care! I have nothing to hide. I'm out there with all my problems to some extent or another. What the hell does Facebook or anyone else care about my own life? It sure as hell doesn't care as much as I do! To each his own or her own. My ex's girlfriend unfriended me because I said my ex was an asshole. Oh well. I was sad to see her go but I have my reasons that she can't/wont respect. I didn't lose a friend in that case. It's my truth. I accept other people's truths even if I do not agree with them. I hate Trump but I'm not going to unfriend people who like Trump, although it's hard for me to look past that. Excuse me, please. I've got a sister and a brother-in-law who I adore, and they like Trump. Heck, Denny may support the POTUS too.

One more thing. Yes, Facebook and Google spy on my posts. Why should I care? I get links to things that I do care about. I click on those links once in a while. I don't see the big effing problem if they see what I like and give me hints. I use those hints. It isn't personal. They're just trying to make money.
