Tech questions and answers ......

Post by Silvers »

Over past months I've gotten more than a few PM's and some emails and calls with interesting tech questions. Nowadays my usual reply is to suggest the gent posts his question(s) on the site. That will give others the opportunity to answer and will also share the Q & A with many readers as compared with only one. Also will increase activity in this Tech sub forum.

But usually the person who contacted me doesn't go ahead to post the question. I don't understand that. Just wondering why that might be? Why take the time to PM a tech question to someone and then drop it like it wasn't all that important?

On the same note I recently heard/confirmed that an alternate Fox Gun net platform now has 7 designated "Group Experts" to answer questions. What a great idea! Five of them are familiar names here on our site and with 3 of the 5 being current Fox BD members.

Net, let’s remember there's plenty of tech horsepower here to answer questions if only they get posted!

Bill, that would be Facebook. Maybe one or more of the 5 Group Experts can bring us up to date on current doings there?

Serveral years ago, Jason Peck started a group on Facebook for Fox enthusiasts. I joined and since then I have enjoyed the posted pictures. A few months ago I received an invitation from the administrator asking me to be tagged as an expert. Actually, I consider myself a novice, but I also like to be supportive of the Fox “cause” so I clicked “yes”. I don’t know anything more about the subject than that. I guess Jason Peck should be contacted for details.
Shoot vintage firearms, relax, and have fun.

Ditto for me in that Jason Peck asked me to be a group expert. Not sure what he criteria was for selection. That FB group does have some nice Foxes show up from time to time. Not sure how many members there are in that Group.
