(User Info)

I'm a geek programmer, a techno freak and there are lots of us nowadays.  In spite of the image, lots of us care about the world and what we do to our rock.  Few of us live on a mountain off the grid.  Many of us have access to cheap power but we still care about alternate energy issues.  I have built close to a dozen wind gennies of various sizes not because I need them but because I am curious and like do-it-yourself projects and enjoy the like-minded people involved.  I might also be able to provide some insight to someone along the way.  That is why I come to this board nearly every day.  

There isn't a lot of torching going on here and though a bit gruff sometimes, the folks are supremely helpful.  We don't all have the same opinions but we all care or we wouldn't be here discussing it.  

I put up with the technical issues, because I know they can be fixed.  I enjoy the good folks who are on this board and manage this board.  A-holes can't be fixed and fortunately there are few visiting this board. I appreciate this site so much that I would be willing to help pay to keep it around.  You can't buy the knowledge that I have gained from reading the postings here.  There are other similar sites but this is the best of this type, IMHO.
