Community listservs

Hi Muriel,

We handle it that way: when someone leaves our community, they are taken
off or internal listserv.
But we do have a mailinglist for prospects and friends inviting them to
events and celebrations and the like. So if people who have left wish to
stay in contact with us, we put them on the mailinglist for friends.

By the way: I am really sorry  that I could not make it this fall to visit
your community!

Speaking of email, we're also interested in finding out if other
communities have a policy about allowing former owners and former
renters  to remain on your community listserv after those folks leave.
This is  addressed to communities that are built out and lived in.

We don't have a policy, and in the absence of a policy we let them stay
on  if they don't ask to be removed.  There are also a couple of
almost-members  on the listserv -- people who were very involved during
the planning stage  but eventually dropped out.

I'd love to hear both from communities with a policy -- what is your
policy? -- and those without -- how are you handling this informally?
And  are you satisfied with the way it is working?
