[RE-wrenches] Discover battery RMA costs

[Michael Welch]

Various thoughts:

I like any idea that would make things better for Wrenches and the industry as a whole. That's been a major thing for me since my early days at Home Power. 

I don't think I could ride herd on this, but I'd be pleased to help grease the skids.

I can see using one of the many free polling sites out there to gather the info and comments.

Oh how I wish that the old IPP was up and running. This would be a perfect project for an organization of Wrenches.

A concern would be hundreds of responses on the list. Some of you already think the list traffic is too heavy.

Maybe it DOES make sense to use a separate list. That way you all could choose to participate or not. The RE-Bitching list already exists and might be the best place to do this.

>What I think we need is a Wrenches Vote list; a compiled list of all the products, and manus we use, and all of our combined experiences.  Each of us individually is probably not enough buying power to be a blip on the radar screen, but all of us combined is a force to be reckoned with.  Each of us are confirmed installers, or we are not on the RE Wrenches. That means we each get a vote to rate these products, and we should be able to vote anonymously to avoid fear of reprisals from manus.
