I think its a great idea, but I would like to see some control
over who gets the list. I have been on one list that somehow got
listed as great places to stay cheap (not what I was signing up
for!). I would like to avoid that sort of problem. Helping is one
thing. Being the place someone calls because their van didn't run
right in the first place is another thing.
