That wasn't a dumb question, and most questions aren't. If folks would just read and/or do their own researching, then they would not look "stupid".
I understand the feeling if they had gotten burned from another group, that can happen.
My feeling is that if you have your board name, and even makeup false info for the board name, you can then post the question on this thread for others to answer without them knowing your real identity. And then, there is no reason to hide and send a private message...geez... we are only talking about vintage sewing machines.
