Today's internet has soooo many places to go that it is impossible to <br>
get everybody in one conversation. Some of the large garden tractor <br>
forums have had Elec-trak threads running alongside all the gas engine <br>
talk. There may well be stuff on Instagram, Twitter, Pintrest, etc. In <br>
fact a quick search finds this on Pintrest:<br>

(I can't see past the initial pictures as I'm not a member)<br>
<br>
I started the Facebook "Elec-Trak garden tractor fan club" group pretty <br>
much for the reasons Chris lists - trying to have a way for folks to <br>
find "us" wherever/however they use the internet, and ideally move them <br>
along to this e-mail list and/or the forum. It appears that most of the <br>
active owners do use multiple platforms, not just Facebook. As some have <br>
already noted, it is a public group, but that is of course relative to <br>
those already with Facebook accounts. I'm not a huge fan of Facebook and <br>
post very little personal info or pics of family etc. I do find it <br>
convenient for some things and it has helped me make some important <br>
non-tractor connections.<br>
<br>
I think there is a way to pin a post to the top of a Facebook page which <br>
I will look to do listing the e-mail list and web forum as preferred <br>
resources especially for technical support type conversations (when I <br>
get a spare moment, ha ha ha). And maybe a monthly post reminding folks <br>
of these resources so as to get more activity where it does the most <br>
good and gets archived.<br>
