Do you have a "forum buddy"? - space-time - 08-13-2019
someone know knows your real name, address, tel number, and who could contact you/your family if you don't post in a long time?
or someone who could get in tough with you if this place go down and we need to regroup somewhere else.

It seems that most prefer to be keyboard friends, That is you are familiar with the nickname, the general location of residence and personality, and that's where the line is drawn. Doesn't seem as though there is much want for face to face, having a coffee or adult beverage, etc.
I have tried a couple times to get a few together and chill at a backyard BBQ or restaurant, but no takers.
That said, there are several forum members that I read all their posts, as they are interesting and have interests similar to mine.

MattKime and I are FB friends and there's others that know how I am through posts on here and CaringBridge due to the loss of our son 8 years ago.

No.
There are members of various forums whom I hold in high regard, largely because of their demeanor on forums, I think them to be decent people in face-to-face conversation.
But as to personal information, I tend to keep most of that to myself.
My crosses to bear, if and when I have any, would not be crosses to bare.

This question fits with my thought in posting for support.
I felt that, based on the number of folks who showed up for the luncheon, there should be at least a few who could pitch in person to assist me now.
Apparently not...

Davemchine is a good friend. Met him through the forum and have enjoyed his many family visits to Kauai. If other forum members are visiting the Garden Isle I'd enjoy meet ups.

Yes, I've met quite a few previous and current members over the years.
