Fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion, and its good that unprofessional people make you a living as for professionalism, maybe I am unprofessional, However, if this is the case, I must know 100s of unprofessional people, I mean, put a simple job request up, people contact to...

dont worry about it, its no use debating, you are like those people that say because you were doing 1km over the limit you are responsible for killing a drunk driver who was doing 60km over the limit and should be sent to life in jail im sure you do full criminal checks, credit checks, veda...

please dont tell me you check the qualifications for some guy to clean the moss off your roof for a set fee which is done in 3 hours. I dont believe anyone that would check for a roof cleaner you'd never get anything done in life please dont tell me if you get someone to mow your lawns ...
