David - Glad it worked out and you had a good time!!
With you, I think people are way too wimpy and paranoid about actually
meeting some of the neat people you get to know on these lists. Sure, 20/60
or 48 Minutes or one of those shows can always come up with a horror story,
but that's all part of the "perceived threat" problem that makes people, for
example, cringe in horror at the thought of a nuclear power plant in their
state while they blithely whoosh down the road at 75 mph 20 feet behind the
car in front of them with a cell phone in their ear.
I've been helped many times over the years by people who didn't know me and
were taking a "risk" in doing it; I intend to pass it on as long as I live!
