Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] File - UnmethoursRecommendation.txt

Jason-

Thanks, edited a little below, please feel free to change my edited text any way you see fit. Â Also, please note my opinion on the matter is simply that the energy plus list serve still serves a purpose other than a last resort if the info is not available on unmet hours and that unmet hours is definitely a great resource, just that it seems that the text sent has been encouraging this list to not be used. If that is the case then I guess I should start using unmet hours more:)

I can change the wording if you want to take a crack at rewriting the notice. I will say that it is important to USDOE that people are aware of Unmethours. I think I can also change the frequency of the notice. Jason

Hi Jason,

I just think the way its worded seems to un-validate the idea of the yahoo group and has a spamy feel to it. Like this group is being phased out and everyone should have to switch out to unmet hours. Not that unmet hours is a bad thing, but it is a bit pretentious and ran by a for profit company.Â

How often do you think is reasonable for that reminder to be provided? We get new subscribers regularly so that is why I set it up to be monthly but maybe that is kind of excessive.

If anyone wants to sign up for big ladder corporate "support" then go ahead, but please stop crossing the line--/ we don't all want to be on the "big ladder" unmet hour group and do not wish to be reminded of it monthly on a separate group I say to you good moderator.
