Cohousing-L Mailing List: Treat Sharon's post as an announcement rather than a discussion thread (was: Re: Electoral College Electors: Urge Electors to Vote for Clinton)

[David Heimann (heimann]

Hello All,

	(Pending any thought from Fred) I would treat Sharon's post as an 
announcement, i.e., not for response, rather than the start of a 
discussion thread.  In a way, it's similar to Ty Albright's announcement 
to post on www.greatagain.gov about cohousing.

Regards,
David

I want to thank Sharon for sticking her neck out and sharing these petitions. 
I?ve personally forwarded it to all my friends and family, many of whom have 
gone on forward it to their friends and family.

I personally think this is a great forum for sharing ideas and issues that have 
broad, real-world impact. Speaking up is a vital part of being a community 
member and being an engaged citizen.

Please just ignore the petition if you don?t want to participate or disagree.

Dear cohousing friends --

I would like gently to request that we not continue this thread. There
are many other forums for political views, and this topic is
particularly divisive. Let's reserve the Cohousing-L list for our labor
of love, helping one another add community to the world.

Respectfully,
~Roger
