Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Seniority-Much Ado About Nothing

[Hans Tilstra (hanstilstra]

No doubt I enjoyed some of the most imaginative, possibly non-tasky
contributions the best. Discussions about polyamory, reflections on hanging
out the washing, slightly relevant science fiction titles.

I frequently contribute with something that triggers an off-line response
rather than broadcast one. I'm happy.

Love to hear your answers! Liked your (what I'd call) discussion statements.

I think that the group has a wavey mixture of collusion & differentiation,
the deep & the concrete. Last year I subscribed to an INTJ discussion group
(that's a personality preference using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and
to me it illustrated a one-sided critical discussion. I'm glad for a fair
share of ying & yang.

You mindreader! I'm in denial, lefty and self-congratulating. And I have the
power to put you to sleep. I didn't realise I was so transparent...
