I have been getting a rash of folks wanting to join in the last few weeks. Some have told me they heard about the list from Wrenches who do workshops.
Please, when you tell folks about this list, be sure to tell them it is specifically for working professional RE installers.
FYI, I do not allow casual installers, like "sure, I'm an installer, I helped my neighbor put up a system earlier this year." I also do not allow fresh businesses to have posting access to the list, unless they have lots of experience or (per the list's consensus) they are fully NABCEP certified. For those that do not (yet) qualify, I always remind them that they have access to the archives.
I question folks that are not obviously working pros, so I catch the ones that are not qualified yet. But it would be helpful to me if those of you that are announcing the list's existence in workshops, seminars, etc.; to be sure to let folks know that they need to be working pros with at least a some real experience before they can qualify for the list.
