<p>Think about how much money and trouble you saved avoiding
problems someone else here already suffered through. Then put a
reasonable fraction of that savings towards keeping the list
going. Its good business my fellow Wrenches! As Drake mentioned:
its one of the most important tools in our design tool box.<br>

<span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Michael
deserves our support for keeping The RE-Wrench List going for
all of these years. The discussions on the list have been
important for decades to the evolution of solar energy in the
areas of technological innovation, dealer support, and code
development. Many industry leaders have taken part in these
discussions.</span><br>
<br>
<span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The
information on the list is invaluable for putting the word out
on products that are useful and ones to be avoided. Help is
often provided in getting through to manufacturers that are
sometimes elusive.</span><br>
<br>
<span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There
are a lot of smart, experienced members on the Wrench List.
Technical advice provided in various posts often exceeds that
provided by product manufacturers. Getting the information
needed can easily save us a few hours of work or research,
which can far exceed the cost of the dues.</span><br>
<br>
<span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The
Wrench List is one of the most important tools in my toolbox.
Hopefully other members of this list will understand its value
and also send in their dues. I know Michael says the dues are
optional, but come on…</span><br>
<br>
<span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The
Wrench List rocks. It is an incredibly valuable business
investment. Let’s keep it going. The minimum suggested dues
are only $50 per year. I am sending significantly more.</span><br>
<br>
<span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Go
