Frequently Asked Questions

This page will contain many of the questions that visitors to the dart site have asked me since this site was first put on the Internet back in 1996. This page should not be confused with alt.sports.dart FAQ. This is not a FAQ of questions about darts, it's more about questions posed to me about the dart pages and about me (some of which have been quite humorous). Enjoy!

• Q. How long have I been throwing darts and how did I get started?
• A. I threw my first dart in 1984. Paul, a good friend of mine, and I were driving around town one Friday night, when he suggested we go to a party he knew of. So we went. After the crowd started to thin out, the party moved to the 'dart room'. I've been hooked since.

• Q. Where do I live?
• A. Montgomery, Al

• Q. Where am I from?
• A. I call Duncan, Ok home.

• Q. How old am I?
• A. I was born 17 June, 1964, I'll let you do the math.

• Q. What do I do for a living?
• A. I'm a software engineer/web developer for a local insurance company. I'm retired from the USAF.

• Q. Why are you called 'Crow'?
• A. My last name is Cronian (Crow-nee-an). You figure it out!

• Q. What caused me to start this site?
• A. At first, it was a way to post the dart stats and schedules for both leagues here in Montgomery. Then people started sending in questions about games, brackets, etc. and I used their questions as ideas for new pages. Well, needless to say, it's grown considerably from that one little page. Right now the dart site consists of over 200 html documents. Talk about creating a monster!!

• Q. How many hours has it taken me to build this site? How often do I update it?
• A. There's no telling how many hours I've worked on this, well into the thousands for sure. I basically update it as required. Having said that, I do answer all of my emails.

• Q. What HTML editor, if any, do I use?
• A. HomeSite.

• Q. Do I throw steel-tip or soft-tip darts?
• A. Actually, both. I prefer steel-tip, but I do enjoy soft-tip darts also.

• Q. How often do I throw?
• A. Aproximately two nights a week.

• Q. Why would anyone want to throw sharp objects at a target on the wall?
• A. This question is either from someone that's never thrown darts, or from a spouse of someone who does. Hmmmm, I wonder if my wife had one of her friends send me this one hoping for an answer??

• Q. What's my favorite dart game?
• A. Wild Mouse on a Quadro dartboard.

• Q. What's my favorite beer?
• A. Cold!

• Q. Will I post tournament information for anyone?
• A. Yes. If you have a web site advertising this tournament, just email me it's address. If not, you can either mail me a flyer or just email me the information.

• Q. Why don't I post current dart news and standings?
• A. Two reasons. First, I don't have the time to keep up with all of that. Secondly, there are a number of sites out there that have that information posted on them. I'll let someone else do that work.

• Q. What do you have to do to get your link added to my site?
• A. Email me the address, it's that simple! I will confirm that the address you sent me is valid and is dart related. Once that is done, I'll add it. If it's not obvious what city/country your site is from, please email that information with your address.

• Q. Will I add your dart store to my dart supplies page?
• A. Yes. And by the way, there's no charge (but don't let that stop you from making me an offer, I can always use a new dartboard or set of darts!!). :-)

• Q. Do I sell dart supplies?
• A. No, but I do have a list of Internet businesses that do on my Dart Supplies page.

• Q. Do I play Doom/Quake/etc.?
• A. I'm not sure what this question has to do with darts, but I've gotten at least a dozen emails wanting to know if I play this or some other interactive web game. The answer to this question is no. As a matter of fact, I haven't played/bought a computer game since sometime in 1996.

• Q. Can I use some of your graphics on my dart page?
• A. Sure. Let me know your pages address and I'll happily trade links with you.

• Q. How often do I update the dart site?
• A. In one way or another, it's constantly being modified. I have an email list of people wanting me to notify them when there are changes. I do not email them every time a little change is made. Instead, I wait until I've made a number of changes over a period of time before I send out an email. If you would like to be added to the list, just email me and let me know.

• Q. Can you write a review on a dart product for my dart page or if you disagree with one I wrote, will I add your opinion?
• A. Certainly. I ask only one thing and that is you write it using the format that the rest of them are written in. Don't just say something is great or lousy, but say why. Most everything has both good and bad aspects to it. And if you think that I've given a product that you like a bad rap, just let me know. Like I mentioned at the top of the Products Reviews page, if everyone agreed on what was best, we would all be throwing the same things!

• Q. You play a game I do not have listed, will I add it?
• A. Absolutely, just send me the rules.

• Q. Why isn't there a picture of me on my site?
• A. If you knew what I looked like, you wouldn't have to ask! :-)
