<div class="pre" style="margin: 0; padding: 0; font-family: monospace"><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hello All,</span><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I know this is off-topic under list guidelines, but Michael said it was OK to post.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Michael deserves our support for keeping The RE-Wrench List going for all these decades. The discussions on the list have been important 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;">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;">There are a lot of smart, experienced installers and designers 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 hours of work or research, which can far exceed the cost of the dues.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">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;">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 have sent significantly more.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Go to <a href="http://re-wrenches.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://re-wrenches.org/&source=gmail&ust=1759497300032000&usg=AOvVaw3EHseIMIWzlcpDhvMeagb9">http://re-wrenches.org/</a> to pay dues online or to find the mailing address for sending a check.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks, Wrenches, let’s all pony up!</span><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Best,</span><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Drake </span></div>
