[RE-wrenches] Discover battery RMA costs

[Ray Walters]

I was thinking it would just be a list, we'd all upload our reviews, but 
it wouldn't be separate emails pinging the IN box every time someone 
gave a rating.   It would just be available when anyone wanted to look 
at reviews of the products.

Is that the sort of thing that might need to be on a separate server?  
I've wanted to do a comprehensive product review list for a long time.

>> 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.
