Story of the FAQ

Edward Tinker · 08-15-2021, 12:55 AM

I lost a bunch of files when my hard drive was wiped - luckily I had older files in a backup. While going through the old files, I came across an FAQ on lugers I had put together. I gathered together facts from the board and books, mainly based on questions I heard folks asking. It was pretty darn good.
I had put a number of hrs in it, but about 5 yrs ago, mrerick - Marc took it over, he has added information, and done a better job than I could do, It is a great help, not just here but on Jan's board, and I am sure shared around, as its a free knowledge for anyone.

Thank you Marc

It's been my pleasure to contribute what I can.

I've been accumulating more forum knowledge for a future update, which I expect to work on soon.

(On background, I've been dealing with a few medical issues that keep taking over my focus - the next is a second back surgery... wish me luck!)

If you know the date the first "FAQ" was posted, we could make it a 'Birthday' and celebrate it every year.
