Default The "Manifesto" Is Not A Talking Shop...

The EcoRenovator site in general, and the Homemade Heat Pump Manifesto thread in particular, are not aimed at people such as your brother. Not only would this web site be of very little interest to your brother (self-filtering), but were your brother to start posting, with his disregard for learning the most rudimentary aspects of mechanics, he would be roundly dismissed (peer-filtering).

This website and this thread are rare pieces of Internet real estate where people with gumption and talent share their work and ideas that either apply to their work, or are tempered by their actual experiences.

We do have visitors who don't understand this and think it is just a "talking shop", and they mindlessly exercise their keyboards (not so different from tossing trash out the window of a car)... which tends to make this rare space as littered and worthless as so much of the rest of the Internet.

I'm glad Oklahoma is doing something.

Steve, this thread is for people who want to actually build Homemade Heat Pumps (not think about it, not hire it out) and for actually building loop fields and all the other related efforts.

Please respect this, and place posts that are not relevant to actually building heat pumps, or actually building loop fields, etc., in the Billiard room, or some other thread where they belong.

This is NOT a talking shop.

Is this clear?
