I have sent an Email to Bob about this thread and the idea. I havent heard back from him as of yet. Once I do I will post here. It may not hurt to have a few others try to get this over to Bob as well, if people feel this would be a good thing to do.
I was also wondering if there would be a way to sort out members or look for members bacsed on location. This would help other find other local folks who do not post as much and maybe get more of a local perspective as well.
