+Event Listener
+------
+
+The status can be polled using the getters that return immutable lists.
+
+     List<LocalGossipMember> getMemberList()
+     public List<LocalGossipMember> getDeadList()
+
+Users can also attach an event listener:
+
+      GossipService gossipService = new GossipService("127.0.0." + i, 2000, i + "", LogLevel.DEBUG,
+              startupMembers, settings,
+              new GossipListener(){
+        @Override
+        public void gossipEvent(GossipMember member, GossipState state) {
+          System.out.println(member+" "+ state);
+        }
+      });
