With the moderators' full blessings, this forum, including the General Forum, is full of posts that have nothing to do with expediting, trucking or the business. No member needs to be a mind reader and predict how other people will perceive one's intent, especially when the posts are not personal and totally on topic; as my simple request for pressure washer info was.

Such an inquiry does not deserve to be twisted into a Code-of-Conduct-violating, more-money-than-brains rant and a personal attack. The thread was about pressure washers. Broompilot made it personal and took it down a negative path. Those kinds of rants discourage people from asking questions in a place where questions are otherwise encouraged.

Certain members would do well to pause and remember that the ways that are right for them are not the ways that are right for everyone. If people do things different than you, that does not make them stupid or wrong.
