It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

No more black greasy stains on my hands certainly sounds like a massive benefit for using wax.

When I was talking so my group about waxed chains, I literally ran my hand over my chain, and it was 100% clean. It's almost like a magic trick!

And because of that, swapping chains out isn't nearly as bad as you'd think.

I had heard that even the reusable KMC links are only reusable a few times but you get a couple of them so that presumably should last a few thousand km.

Yes, KMC can be reused, but they still require a tool to get on/off. Work with what you have, and invest where it makes the most sense to you.
