Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why do you need my
correct email address?
A: The software
automatically generates a password and sends it directly to the email address
that you supply. We never see and have no way of knowing your actual password. We will
then check you out to be sure you are a bona-fide Ford
dealer employee before we activate your password to allow you access. If you make a mistake typing in your email address or supply us
with an incorrect email address, you will not receive your login information. We
will very occasionally send you an email with important information that you
will never get if we don’t have your current email address.
Q: Why is our site
password protected and restricted to Ford dealer employees?
A: We carefully screen
our applicants to be sure they are who they say they are. We require all members
to be employees of Ford or Lincoln dealers and we password protect the
site so that we may exchange ideas freely and without censorship. We
occasionally allow a sponsor such as a supplier or carefully screened FAD to
access the site, but it is designed as a secure area for dealer use only.
Q: Who pays for this?
Why is it free for members?
A: Vernon and I believe
we will all benefit greatly from the free and unrestricted exchange of ideas. I
learn things here every day that make my job easier and more profitable. To that
end, Vernon pays all the bills for the cost of maintaining the site. Our
sponsor, currently Hesco Parts Corporation, helps defray part of the cost. More
sponsors may be added in the future to help cover some of the costs, but our
security policy will always remain.
Q: Is there any
censorship of ideas on your site?
A: We are here to
promote a free exchange of ideas. Some opinions we might not like, but we will
allow them. We won’t tolerate personal attacks on our members and reserve the
right to occasionally delete messages or threads that turn mean. It doesn’t
happen very often.
