<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I belong to other groups that are web forum based and Facebook. If I had to rate them I’d start with this email forum, then web based, with Facebook coming in last. Not that Facebook doesn’t have good and
knowledgeable posters, but there are far more that I wouldn’t take advice from there. Quantity doesn’t always equate to quality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Sadly I think it is a changing of the guards. I joined these lists (Ford-Ferguson, Farmall, Antique Tractor) 23 years ago when email, instant messenger, and a few forums were the only real internet communications.
But today with all of the social media, you tube, and a lot more websites, message groups appear to have fallen off. I also know our local antique tractor club has had trouble getting new blood, don’t know if it is a matter of lack of interest in the tractors,
or lack of interest in meeting people face to face. Our area shows are still well attended by all ages.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

missing posts? It's been very quiet lately, about the last 4 months.<br>
