May I have your best bike for free? or even your best tune up? Or web page work, or social media, or NFP wording? What are you willing to do to lift up my business for free so that I can lift up yours?
For free I gave you ideas you had not come up with yet. The idea of testing your processes to prove that are the same as or different than you current beliefs/ practices. You as a group can reinvent the 
wheel or hold on to your beliefs. 
You can lift me up and I will lift you up. You can shut me down like a priests in the dark ages did to people of science. I have no power over your actions. I only have knowledge

No, you have it wrong. The knowledge has value, even more, because it is given freely. That is the point of ThinkTank: sharing. If you don't want to share freely, this is wrong place for you and you are wasting our time.

When
someone posts to a mailing list to sell a product, to me that
constitutes cause to block that person from the mailing list.

If you want to freely share here tutorials and techniques for everyone
to review and learn from, in the interest of helping community bike
shops hone their skillsets to a higher standard, I'd be the first to get
interested. As it is, you never post detailed instructions, and quite
frankly a lot of the processes you allude to are bizarrely out of scope
with what most of us do on a daily basis. Your posts smell like bait.

I'm personally requesting that you reconsider posting here. In this
particular case, you even tacked your message onto a completely
unrelated thread. I mean, might be I'm actually talking to a spam bot.
