Just heard this song, and thought of this thread:

We were once so close to heaven
That Peter came out and gave us medals...
For being the nicest of the damned.

(Talking heads)

Fair enough, though I'm still not convinced that everyone who reads this
list is physically/financially able to establish long-term face-to-face
contact with a Soto teacher for instruction in shikantaza
-- or that any Soto teachers on this list are going to give
instruction/interviews in it (or much of anything else either) here. 
When the well-fed sow is asleep on her teats, the hungry piglets are
going to oink among themselves. What is the Soto teacher's great
kindness? To shout at the drowning that they ought to learn how to swim?
