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.

Our plumber is about 25 km from our house. Our sparky is about 15.

That's a long way to ride your gear back and forward. Imagine the downtime on any given day to riding. These people are charging out at anywhere from $150 to $300 p/h. They're not going to lose that income riding those distances.
