Dear Liz, I concur and think it would be a great policy. We are going through a rather heated time right now and I truly believe email has added to the problems, not helped solve them Email is an incredibly poor way to solve problems or build community. I find it ironic that we joined cohousing to get to know each other and then we fire off notes from electronic boxes in our bedrooms while the reciever sits in their bedroom just 50 ft. away. Communication is 85 percent non verbal. I think it should be banned within community.

There have been some misunderstandings and hurt feelings when the issues got hot and heavy. I have advocated for a ban on discussing community issues online, because of the inherent difficulty in interpreting subtle points, humor, and anger. The other problem is that those without email are left out of the loop. What have other built communities done about an email policy? I feel the need to bring this up at a general meeting soon, and would like input. -- Liz Stevenson Southside Park Cohousing Sacramento, California
