Uptake has been slow and while not all JPFO folks are looking for local contacts - don't be put off by a small numbers of posts. Only with participation by more people can the actual intended purpose really work. So - if you are new here, do add your own post, and even if there is not a response for a while, be patient such that numbers can build.
I'd suggest that everyone makes sure they set up email notification so as to know when any new posts are added. Ultimately the hope is that people will be able to contact others in their state via PM, thus keeping their info private and fulfilling the forum's objective.
If anyone old or new wishes to add their comments, then do so here in this thread.
