It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Stuff can usually hang off the back pretty far! I usually just run one strap all the way, straddling the back. It gets cinched tight so nothing can wiggle loose.

I've also stuck stuff in my pannier bags, leaving them open so long stuff just sticks straight up. Lash it to the frame and it's usually good enough to get stuff to the destination.
