Lateral-g.net vs Pro-Touring.com

Sad to see if we didn't have either and we're lucky to have both....

Facebook seems to be more immediate these days and can be very specific to a model, style or brand and it can have some pretty big communities of their own...

Don't get me wrong,,,, I do like the sense of community at both of these sites (Lat and Pro) and look forward to seeing most ;-) of you guys at the various events I've had the good fortune to attend...
In a nut shell we are all lucky.... However we might want to consider twice what we post as threads like this can sometimes polarize people/sites and cause people to move on to specific info only sites.... I'm not trying to be a kill joy,,,, I just don't see what practical benefit comes out of a thread comparing the communities,, however I do see a possible down side as expressed above....

Well said Albert. You probably remember the guy who started this thread:

LatG and PT both serve a purpose for thier general audiences. I think the reason we typically refer to PT as the 'other' site is for descretion (i.e. no direct slam) and not to offend anyone. Why start now? We're all car guys right?

Watch the OP. For a NewB, he'll stir a bit of knucklehead commentary. Not sayin' that's always a bad thing, though...
