Just as this place is not a place to list gossip about who did or didn't go on some retreat, who subscribed or unsubscribed to what journal, who joined or left some online discussion site, who is or isn't now on the board of whatever retreat center or institution, who just lead a retreat where, who just had a spat or disagreement, who just made up, who just became a monk, who just disrobed, who got married, who got divorced, just so the little details of the membership of one of the thousands of practice groups or mediative traditions or whatever obscure little social scene (such as a few people on a boat in Nowhere, Australia) is out there is the sort of stuff that, were someone to be really into posting about all of that, would just clog a forum that happens to be dedicated to practice and its support rather than the comings and goings and petty politics of persons in social groups or institutions or whatever. Simply to list the persons who have joined this small, obscure website and later left over some disagreement or whatever would be enough to flood the board, much less the petty politics of other groups or organizations.
Perhaps you should start a site dedicated to those things, as it is easy to do and you clearly have an interest, there very well may be people just like you who do also, and they would probably appreciate the fact that they wouldn't have to wade through a whole bunch about practice and serious meditation discussion to get to what they considered the relevant details of the meditation world gossip, thus providing efficiency all the way around for us and for you and them.
This is a polite way of me saying to not do it here. If you can some up with some relevant practice implication of whatever, say that. Otherwise, elsewhere, please.
