Thanks Stu. Said with more tact and diplomacy than I could muster.

I appreciate that we differ on this, but won't shy away from my thoughts. People are able to try to rally support. I agree that people should go to all reasonable (and then some) lengths to save a family member. However, I think there is something really wrong about any group who rubbishes the efforts made by Search and Rescue personnel, dumps on the police and ignores the requests of our expert groups to not incite vigilante-style independent SAR. It's crazy. If the police *hadn't* done anything, or if there was a realistic hope of recovery, I wouldn't feel this way. If they'd poured resources into assisting -- rather than competing with -- the police, I'd be supportive. But they haven't.
