Not much hanging, except when there's a fire. In the fireplace, I mean. When there's a fire, we generally call 911. > > Does walking through to pick up mail, sign up for meals, etc. produce > meaningful community interactions? Not alot.

Does this work? Interesting. We were developed without email at all, so it never became a part of our culture. I would think it would be detrimental to relegate sign-ups to email. Also, almost all of the proposals that come to general meetings are first posted in the common house. They almost all involve graphics, so email just wouldn't work.
