I might suggest combining sb_m, sb_m_loc, and sb_m_profile into sb_m, and just
not fill in the _loc and _profile bits unless either supplied or member is a
"full" member. Unless people can have multiple locations and profiles...

Also, you might be able to combine worldcity and zipcodes, and "if country !=
'USA', go by country/city, else go by (state/city) or (zipcode)". I suppose
technically that might take up more space for the table if you set up an extra
key for country/city... Eh, either way I suppose. Although admittedly, that'd
give you only one place to look if you were trying to reference by long/lat.
Hmm.

Oh yeah, sb_m_site maybe also should get that "brickshelf?" flag. And sb_l you
might want to have a logo url/icon location.

Dang, I'm picky, huh?

Is this error checking insofar as existing members/officers OK'ing people's
information?
