Re: I can help for Ford and mazda incode and outcode

We really don't allow this type of posting for a number of reasons.
Mainly it deprives the general membership of info that could benefit them, not only now but in the future as well. Think of AF as a giant reference tool if you will with information constantly being added and updated. When someone posts an issue they look for responses to help them solve that issue. Most of the time a resolution is found to the problem. The beauty of that is now that thread and posts become part of the site to become search results if someone should have a similar problem whether it be in a couple weeks or a couple of years. The info permanently becomes part of the site to be used by all. By asking other members to contact you off site you are not allowing that info to be displayed where it may become valuable info to someone else. You are in essence depriving others access to that info.
Another reason is that it generally is not a good idea to be posting your email address on large message boards ,(or most places on the internet for that matter,) as that address could be used by spammers to send you all sorts of emails offering you little blue pills or a competitive rate on your mortgage.
if you want to share your knowledge with the membership, it is best to do so in the open forums where you can help more people.
