I've always felt the searches, while important, we're unsafe for the participants. There was mention of open manhole covers, very dense brush, and homeless people in tent city set-ups, etc. at this weekends search. The HBO guy mentioned even getting lost. I just wanted to say I hope nobody gets hurt.
Also, regarding FB, I understand IM and children need to be respected, but the tone towards people who just want to help has really taken a very harsh turn. There is a lot of talk that the children read that page. I think the admins and "accepted" members need to set a better example for the children too. It goes both ways. I just saw a cousin of IM post and use some very harsh language regarding a poster, 4 letter words included. And she was thanked for her comments. I never see that language on this page. New WS posters, share this with your friends there. As much as this WS page is despised by those on FB, there is a much kinder vibe here. Maybe because, for the most part, we have rules and abide by them.
