build groups together

[grumpy old man]

i wasn't after anyone exact loc more a ruff loc like say ( rambo from manchester) or mike from glasgow just so somebody who lives say 10,20 or whatever miles from them could pm them and arrange a meet in a public place. to help establish who could be friend or foe.
i understand the need for opsec but if the clever people wanted anyone of us it would be very easy to locote.
i know the bristol lot have meets so the build up networks that they can use off line. and there is always a risk with people but the fact is your chance of sucsess grows with a bigger group in all ways
just think joe bloggs who lives 5 miles from you could think just like you?
you both use the internet and talk to each other by your user names and opsec is so guarded that you don't know how close you two are the the shit hits the fan you two survive and by chance stumble on each other?
now being the careful people you are there is no trust or friendship and a 50/50 chance you might get killed.
but if you knew he lived 5 mile away and established contact before an event and a friendship made things would be different or you know joe bloggs is a nutter and one to watch out for.
