I'm with you.

What about educational-based, non-binding, non-legal certification of a plan 
for a fee?  This is called consulting I guess, but to gather some good 
people into a loosely formed group who have a consistent technology, that 
sounds OK to me.  If nothing else, this list acts as a funnel for possible 
consultants.  I've noticed guys out there like Shody who I don't really know 
but by now I trust them and would hire them in a heart beat.  If other 
people were part of an organized group who made their services available I'd 
also consider them.  I look at it this way:  If I  need the help, and they 
need the money, why not?  That is the basis of a community in a way.  They 
have what I need and I have what they need, so why not trade?

As far as the city or county goes, I have a 12 guage pump action with their 
names etched on the shells.  I have a farmer hat and pitchfork and I'll spit 
chewing tobacco in their eye too.  What better place for a toxic fireball?
