You know, I've thought about this. If something were to happen to me, how would some of my best friends--this site--know? Perhaps DocJohn could have a private phonebook or contact list for each of us willing to participate. In case someone seems to be "missing" on the site and everyone is concerned, Doc might then have a way to find out. Or in alternate, we give word to our home family to contact DocJohn. I'm sure Doc never thought about adding private emergency contact information. I really would be something to consider to have someone in charge of everyone's data. And for a site such as this in mental health, there could be benefits. If someone is very depressed, a phone call of support and caring concern could prove to help. Anyway, Greg, I wouldn't mind participating in giving someone my phone number. Good idea!
