I have found the email issue to be pretty interesting here, too. we
have a number of people who wish we didn't do our coho business via
email, but it's just too convenient to stop.
in the late 70's i lived on a kibbutz - no phones, let alone email. the bulletin board was the heart of the place, you'd go there to see what was going on....kind of miss that here.

Given that I'm an advocate of email discussion of issues and proposals(which some community members would happily ban), I've wondered why I am hard-nosed about "official" communications being hardcopy. Certainly I can see many advantages of a web-based calendar. I have made some efforts to getcommunity records on the web, such as our proposal archive.The overt reason, at least, is to accommodate those residents who don't want to fight with a computer, aren't willing to expend their meager resources on internet, are on a computer at work all day and reluctant to spend their time at home on one, or simply object to being tyrannized by an obligation to check email frequently. Our residents seem, on average, to be a littleless computer oriented than some other communities.One rather less noble reason is that one resident makes their opinion pretty clear that anyone without a computer is a luddite. My household has morecomputers than (human) occupants, but I don't the attitude.
