I think eight folks would have to intentionally express a commitment of interest and officially 'sign up', although several folks seemed interested on the other thread, they did not come forward to actively choose to participate when this thread arose. This could be due to a lack of awareness (though I posted a link I this thread on that one) or they could've not actually been willingly commited to participate. Perhaps you would pm the parties which expressed interest who are not involved in this thread? I'm afraid there has been a lot of discouraging discussion. I thought the last one went well
again, one lady (who came on recently to express how she felt) had some personal issues and didn't attend to her ge buddy, and the unattended ge buddy was (understandably) really hurt. That sucked. I don't think that is a typical issue.
