    I think John was leaving it as a two step process for security's sake.
We wouldn't want to wake up in the morning and find that our vans were gone,
thanks to the map!!  You could harvest by region.........

    The graphic presentation makes it abundantly clear that a few people
haven't signed up to help their fellow Van travellers.  There's nobody in
Saskatchewan or Northern Ontario, whereas I'm certain there are Listees in
those places who could help.  I won't out you here, but you know who you are
guys!   :)

    It also demonstrates just how 'Canadian' Mike Collum is - he lives
WAAAAY farther north than I do!
