"As an aside, within the last 3 days, a relatively neophyte (but exceptionally gifted) monk told me that they were going to quit coming here... he'd witness an interaction between two monks in the CB that made him feel this place wasn't for him. He wasn't involved; nor even using the CB, he was just distracted and disturbed by it."

Thanks that you mention this.

His very personal sad salute to me made me very thoughtful.

I don't know what happened but i'm glad that he is still here.

Regards, Karl
