In my area, "competitors" could have it's own shade of meaning too.

I'd refer tree workers who want to learn and become better at what they do, not the folks who just need an online bar to talk at.

A good aspect of this site, is that little goes on that would cause professional embarrassment.

This is one of the very few forums in the green industry that is actually moderated.

Other forum website had moderators, but they are not moderating, and its the users who are controlling the forums.
