    Its only an annoyance , the rest of the forum is pretty good,,it just send a message that guests are dirt and are not valued enough to give the common courtesy of an edit button,,we don't all want to join Indy some have local lawnmowing assocations that cost us $100's a year and can't afford to join everything.

    If Indy don't value guests here just tell us and we can go elsewhere

    It's only a edit option, enjoy the forum and others in the industry and get over yourselves.

    Eric honestly I'm too old for this crap,I can't see a problem with being a fully paid member.I have been in this industry full/time part/time for almost 25years an thought I knew a fair bit. T he insurance alone has saved me my one off membership fee plus the backup an discounts are also a bonus .We have a good community here ,lots of laughs ,we get OFF topic like now ,but all in all enjoy what we have less this and heaps more of this

    That's a real shame Sandgropper,

    I will miss your input and knowledge and hope you reconsider and stick around.

    I was arguing with Lifestyle and didn’t mean to offended anyone else, as was suggested I should have moved it to private messaging but I can’t change that now.

    I just found it frustrating having lifestyle pick and question ILMCOA we have differing views (which makes Australia great)he has a established business and has found this forum and is wondering what its all about. I found about ILMCOA took the plunge and started my own business and owe a great deal to ILMCOA and feel they helped me and are a big part of my success.

    I’m over it and I think lifestyle is let’s all get back to helping each other and as John said more of this

    Best of luck Sandgroper...

    I won't be around here much myself any more either.

    We all make mistakes in life, and wish we can go back and fix them, one new thing i found out here is we are probably better off learning from our mistakes and moving forward (we certainly can't go back and edit them )

    I made a huge mistake earlier this year and now i have to learn from it.

    Trial & Error is the best teacher.

    Have fun mate...

    getting back to the subject that i originally started , we are getting business looking at their costs , us too and well thats business
    as a consquence we are talking to some of our corporate clients and getting in first suggesting better ways and looking at what we offer and ensure they understand that...some of clients like taberats are taking the pen and striking things in half , not just gardeners but window cleaners ,cleaning in general..what i am suggesting is get in first and get on the front foot....the best thing to happen from the original post was to spread the workload and get cracking on the client....a lot of people are getting edgy... they need reassuring...my 5 cents worth

    The guest has a name

    Lifestyle if u come to my house as a guest you still have a name like other forums you may have to be a member and yes a guest is called a guest on those forums thats the way they run it doesnt mean every forum has to be run the same way .

    as far as i can see and youve been told that you are a guest way b4 this thread
    this is what is at the top of each page on the forum
    Independent LawnMowing Contractors Of Australia Members Forum WWW.INDMOWING.COM.AU Guests welcome

    You can be a member of a forum and still be a guest

    so how good is that when you can be a guest and get a name as well fantastic so you can build your names credability and your business credability

    Lawnmowing clients are also viewing this forum other forums view this forum franchises suppliers schools and the general public view this forum

    also i see a thread was made because your into organics so u could share your knowledge
    i also see that you advertise yor web and your orgaincs in your signature how goods that even though your a guest hmmm
    i also see that you can also win the gifts that are given away every now and then because the forum loves your contrubutions

    i also see that you run 12 other forums but i also see you dont run this one

    As a guest ic you are treated fairly and justly

    i also see that you as a guest and i as a member can preview a post b4 submitting it if i want my post to be perfect i can check it b4 posting it guess what so can you .

    And by the way Members of Indy cant edit their post once its posted thats just the way it is

    .

    Well i still don't have an edit button, i thought the squeaky hinge get the oil ? oh well, i had better stick around and keep on topic sorry Geoff.

    I think the economy might be turning the corner,,petrols coming down,,interests rates as well,fingers crossed .

    I guess the most important thing for residential is targeting areas that have money,,if most of your customers are on the pension,,single mothers and on the dole and/or crappy lawns you might feel the pinch more than Double Dinks areas (double income no kids)
