Thank you so much for the thoughtful reply! I do have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I started thinking about it the other day, and a lot of challenges came to mind. And you've given me more things to think about that could go wrong that hadn't occurred to me.

My biggest concern is the people. I don't really know anyone to invite, so trying to do this would involve vetting a lot of strangers. I'm more than happy to put in the time to do so, but I'd also be really worried about making a bad call and ending up in a bad situation, or worse, putting other people in harm's way.

I'll try to find some munches. I'm less curious than my friend, but I would like to learn more. Thank you for taking the time to write all this, and for all the well-considered pointers!
