Short answer: cohousers, in general, SUCK at enforcement/accountability.

I've thought, written, and taught about this issue a bit, but don't have 
time right now to write a more thorough post (wife is having surgery 
this morning), but will try to get back to it later today or tomorrow. 
In the meantime, anyone who's attended one of my workshops on the topic 
(including you folks from Ashland!), feel free to pipe in with not only 
your thoughts about the session but if/how you implemented any of my 
suggestions and how it went!
