Very well worded Bill!
What I think we are seeing is that the sites that have a highly established revenue stream able to shift and re-focus on the new target. ProCoolings pretty non commercial, and non agressive M.O. hurts us big time in this. Theres simply no way that pH nor myself could afford such testing setups or put the time into using them properly.
The funny thing is, if you would have asked anyone on the forum here (except maybe you bill and a few others) if we were heading toward a major re-write on testing methodologies and one of the largest shakeups in cooling review stuff... I think everyone would have said "no".
I do think the gun shot has gone off and we are just hanging at the starting line drinking a beer
Really the funny thing is... if I had a house I would prolly be working my ass off for testing stuff... I just dont have room here even if I had money and time (also the temp swings in this apt are killer!)
Besides for Cathar looking to move onto other things, we also see JayDee walking away, and many other active members from here doing the same. Its sad and a pretty serious loss for the site.
But one thing to be said... is the sites not going away. So while we may be lag'n now (for cooling reviews, stepping it up for general review and article action)... maybe its for the better, let everyone fight out the new testing methods and jump in once we let everyone else spend the time and money getting useable data. Thats the glass half full view of the current sitaution
