What say you, monks?

Asking those that are still here will probably not elicit good explanations.

Is it possible to go straight to the horses mouth and ask former active members to say why they are no longer such? Anonymously or otherwise. Perhaps those here that are still in contact could email them to ask them to post a short explanation of their reasons for moving on.

Perhaps it could be wrapped up in a poll? (It'd be nice to see a useful one for a change :).

    Nevermind :(

    You are probably right. However, you might be the perfect monk to recount some event in the history of the Monastery, given your longevity as a monk and your exceptionally high frequency of participation herein. "I remember the hurricane back in '05 that wiped out the barn." I'm not saying there was such an event, but if there had been, you'd be someone in a good position to remember it.

    That would be insightful, indeed.

    Good idea. I doubt I'll get to it soon; so if anyone else wants to do it, feel free.
