Solar Hot Water [RE-wrenches]

[allan]

All,
    My vote is more cautious re expanding to all natural building topics.
Two main reasons: 1) many of these already have their own sites and
discussion groups, and 2) the sheer volume of postings would get in the way
of getting work done.  So how about we set up a separate thermal discussion
group, and some way of sharing resource sites for other topics, that those
interested can get involved with?
