It seems to me that this list is a great resource, for uber-experienced & those that still have questions.
I would think the last thing we would want to do is discourage any person qualified to be on this list from soliciting advice from the knowledge on this list. What better place to have questions of any level tossed out for a sounding board. Would the industry be better served by having installers not ask questions & perform tasks in a questionable fashion? I know I have some questions that I have held from asking on this list for fear of appearing too 'inexperienced' to the elders here. Perhaps someone can suggest another appropriate forum where members can post without concern about stature or ridicule? A degree of knowledge/experience is necessary to be allowed to post here. If everyone has the same level of knowledge where some questions are perceived to be below that threshold, should those less fortunate be excluded? Three strikes & you are out? As there is ongoing discussion of an installers group being formed, will this forum continue to be a place for feedback on all questions, or only for a select few, or will the group have some to-be determined level of skill/knowledge that must be proven to join? Am I off base in thinking that this forum is for 'working questions' from all levels of experience? -Glenn Burt
