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.

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.
What do you think oh grand poobah list administrator, Michael Welch? I would
start the product/ manufacturer list. I'm not saying a separate email list,
just a compiled list of products that would live on RE Wrenches area.
