Manufacturers on list [RE-wrenches]

[Michael Welch, Home Power]

Revision #1.

OK, here's what we've got so far on manus on the RE-Wrenches list. Please let me know where you stand, or if I have improperly pigeon-holed you. I did my best guessing in some cases.

No way, unless they qualify by having wrench-level know-how
Michael Welch (plus wants 1 only per manu)
Chris Daum
Travis Creswell
Frank Fowler
Paul Wilkins
Bill Roush
Jerry Caldwell (1 only per manu)
John Berdner (1 only per manu -- he is a manu rep)

Leave them off completely and let them know what we want them to know.
William Miller
Carl Emerson

Leave 'em off but cc the manu when we have something to say to them
Tump May (also expressed interest in "On until screwup")

Let 'em on til they screw up
Sparky
Bob Maynard
Tom Elliot
Jay Peltz
Allan Sindelar

Likes Jeffrey Wolfe's list of requirements (see below*)
Jeffrey Wolfe (go figure)
Richard Perez
Doug Pratt
Holt Kelly

Allow access to one but must be company's tech support
Todd Cory
Ian Woofenden
Larry Brown
Steve Willey (did I put you in the right spot?)

Allow access to one only per manu
Kirk Herander

* Jeffrey's list
1.  Keep the discussion technical.
2.  NO PRESS RELEASES. This is NOT a PR list.
3.  The person must have a technical background and be in a technical 
position with the company. I would not want a person who simply passed 
through info written by another person.
4.  The manufacturers must understand, that although Home Power is gracious 
and generous enough to sponsor this list (THANK YOU!) that they have also 
graciously allowed the list membership to control the list direction. Thus, 
if the list WRENCH members find that a manufacturer is not abiding with 
the above, they would be dropped. This would not be a reflection on Home 
Power, only a reflection on us individual wrenches.
5.  The WRENCHES on the list would continue control of list direction. Not 
the manufacturers.
6.  This policy could be changed later.
7.  We (you Michael) still determine who gets on the list. No one has a 
"right" to be on the list. (Thank you for being a great guardian.)
8.  Mail volume is a serious issue. I already delete about half the 
responses before reading. There's just not enough time in the day.
