Graymar, what an excellent idea, a few years ago l worked as a moderator for a Boating enthusiasts forum, and we set up a list of trusted and checked out members who had to provide I.D. And be a regular poster for a least six months prior to registration, we then created an SOS page, it covered anything from help with a mechanical breakdown, to rescue of someone in distress, and even donations of food for one young lad living alone onboard a boat during winter who had become well and truely frozen into a remote Broad and unable to reach the shore. I know that was in a truely different context, and was entirely UK based, but a similar scheme could be set up on Gransnet, like you say, with a list of helpful contact numbers and those who could offer more local support to those members in need.
