For those of you taking Jim's advice seriously and who want to have email 
discussions by people already living in urban cohousing (and other kinds 
of intentional communities) or who are trying to get their neighborhoods 
to become more cohesive consider subscribing to our email list, called 
Urban-ICs.

Here's how:


To subscribe to URBANICS, send listproc [at] csf.colorado.edu the request

        SUBSCRIBE URBANICS <FIRSTNAME> <LASTNAME>

If your name is John Doe, please substitute
          John Doe    for   <Firstname> <Lastname>

so the command would look like

SUBSCRIBE URBANICS John Doe
