Hi wrenches. If you respond, please respond to me directly, off-list.
Since our new domain name is RE-Wrenches.org, it did not quite seem comfortable to also name the new listserver "RE-Wrenches."
And since there will be both electrical and thermal lists for pros on the server, "RE-Wrenches" did not cut it as an apt description that denotes the difference.
So I would like fast feedback on these two proposed names (if you have trouble figuring out which is which, we have a problem).
Elec-Tech at lists.re-wrenches.org
Thermal-Tech at lists.re-wrenches.org
BTW, the requirements for belonging to the Thermal list will be the same as for the Electrical list that we have now, except for the obvious that a member has to be a pro thermal installer.
Thanks!

So, because of the tech and aesthetics parts of this migration, I cannot give you an exact time that we will be finished and ready to go, or even if all three of the main features will be ready at once. But I did want you to know that we are working on it.
