Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Attribution for borrowing policy language

[Philip Dowds (rphilipdowds]

Susan —

I am deeply grateful that there are so many cohousing communities out there, 
working out so many good ideas, such that the subsequent generation need not 
reinvent the wheel.  And I think we all operate under an implicit compact to 
help support and sustain each other.  The [C-L] list, and the Coho/US website, 
are important vehicles of reciprocal support.

So when appropriate, I shamelessly plagiarize, without mercy, from other 
cohos.*  If I am in error, I need to know about this pretty quick.

Thanks,
Philip Dowds

 * Although when pushing the ideas of other communities onto my friends and 
neighbors here at Cornerstone, I usually find it helpful to reference the 
source of origin.
