Hi. Finding Gerry is the main objective. This has not happened. People discussing possible search locations/possibilities in a respectful manner, that is not an issue. If a respectful discussion jars loose some possible bit of local lore that might be helpful, that would be awesome.
If you have an issue with a thread use the report post icon or contact a moderator, do not jump in a thread and proceed to tell everyone how the thread should be run as you are not a moderator. Thank you.
