I registered first there using the name I have here. I know something about renewable energy technology and construction so I offered the admin and partner advice on adding an inline solar thermal water heater to their solar powered electric one for preheating DHW in a reply in their thread describing installation of their solar panels and related equipment. I guess I spoke out of turn. I got an "I am not looking for advice" thrown in my face. I have spent years with permaculture folks talking and brainstorming about renewables so I was not used to such rudeness. I picked up and left, cancelling my account. Too bad. I had made a lot of really good friends,; out of the ordinary interesting. Wrong people to be owning and managing an important instance, especially right now with the threat from Meta and right wing corporate religious whack jobs.
