What do you think of the idea of having a place on Fluther to post personal news?

I have some sad news which I was looking to share with Fluther friends. There is no obvious place to put it; the ongoing “something great” and “progress” threads are not really appropriate places. Would it make sense to have an ongoing thread or a community feed spot where one could share important news or is that not appropriate on a “Q&A” site? Your thoughts?
