1. There is so much funky stuff out there (these inverters, ebooks on how to power your home with a homemade wind generator or PV module for $200, vertical axis yard art, H2 gasoline eliminators, etc.) that I really would like to keep it off the list and keep the discussions to real Wrench-related stuff. Remember, we do have the RE-Bitching list to complain about **anything** we want, and many of you have let me know it is of high importance to keep the signal to noise ratio at the most useful level.
Good. 2. After compiling the many answers I received about whether or not pricing should be discussed in this public forum, there was nothing even close to consensus. So as for pricing, here's the deal. If somebody takes to mentioning prices, either inadvertently or because they feel it is good for the list, please do not respond on list with "that bites" or "I don't like it" or "go dude" or any other encouragement, discouragement, or pricing discussion. Rather, please start a private conversation off list with the person, and then respectfully try to convince each other as to the merits of your opinions. CC me if you'd like, but let's consider discussions about whether pricing should be on the list to be off-topic for the list. OK. 3. (Really, I thought it was only going to be two.) If you post to the list looking for a particular piece of equipment not otherwise available, please ask that folks respond to you off list, and then those of you responding please be sure respect that. I did. Told him I had a $1500 SW4024. Off. The. List. Thanks, Wrenches. You folks are awesome! OK, dude, whatever.
