An interesting and related anecdote: I got a call from a person in here in Minneapolis who watched the Future Quest show that included the cohousing segment. He found me by searching the Internet for "co-housing" and "community" and found out www or gopher. I have since done a little veronica (gopher) searching and found that seaching for "co-housing" results in an error because of the way a dash is used in the search specification syntax; "co" gets treated as a word. Searching for "cohousing" (which btw is my prefered spelling) works great. The story goes on. I wrote to the maintainer of the How to use veronica FAQ and his sympathetic reply included the statement: >Keep up the good work . I hope and expect that cohousing will boom >in the next few years as more people get serious about need for >social alternatives. > >Steve Foster I had no reason to expect he even knew what cohousing was! Cohousing is definitely becoming more widely known and appreciated! Fred -- Fred H.
