Welcome to the Fordnatics mailing list! Fordnatics is an unmoderated
forum for discussing Fords and Ford-powered vehicles, with the emphasis
on technical topics such as repair, restoration, racing, and performance
modifications. It is available as a "live" list, or as a digest
compiled every weekday morning.

The emphasis is on fun Fords and Total Performance, whether on the
street, the track, or the show grounds. All years and models, from the
Model T to the Mercury Mystique, are fair game. Questions from novices
are encouraged. If you love cars, and you bleed Ford blue, this is the
place for you!

Private-party want ads are welcomed. Appropriate items include
vehicles, parts, tools, supplies, car club events, etc. Pointers to
commercial suppliers and services are also welcomed, but commercial
advertising is strongly discouraged.

New subscribers are invited to send an introductory message describing
their interest in Fords, and any initial questions they might have.

LIST ARCHIVES: The script that produces the Fordnatics digest also
archives each message as it arrives. At present there is no automated
way to search the archives, however I can manually locate messages on
particular topics if you ask politely.

FTP SITES: I maintain a directory of Ford-related material accessible
via anonymous FTP at ftp.rahul.net, in directory pub/chucko/. Userid is
"anonymous", password is your email address. Your contributions are
welcome! Because of the price of storage on this account, I cannot
accept images, but I will be happy to upload any other Ford-related
information. To contribute, send me email. The Fordnatics archives
will be moved to the FTP site at some future date.

Robert King ((email redacted)) also has an FTP site at
monsta.metronet.com, in directory pub/fords. Userid is "anonymous",
password is your email address. This site is larger than the one at
ftp.rahul.net, and images are welcomed. If you want to add to the
archives, drop your contribution in pub/incoming/fords. Check with
Robert for more specifics.

If you don't have direct Internet access, there is a service called
"ftpmail" which can list and retrieve files from either of these sites
and send them to you via email. Send a message to
(email redacted) with the word "help" as the body of the message
for more information.

ADMINISTRIVIA: The Fordnatics list is currently administered manually.
Temporary delivery problems are usually ignored. Persistent unresolved
delivery problems may result in removal from the list. If you don't see
any messages for several days, drop me a note with an alternate contact
method (e.g. another email address, voice phone number) and I'll contact
you to help resolve the problem.

As the Fordnatics list is a voluntary service provided in my spare time,
I reserve the right to remove anyone from the list at any time, for any
reason.
