Frankly, if there weren't discussions like this, I'd be bored to death with
answering the "should we hire a ______?" questions and would drop off the
list. If this were a meeting with an agenda, I would agree with you
wholeheartedly, but this is a community in itself, and sometimes an issue
just needs to be talked about, whether or not it gets a building built
somewhere down the line.

People don't just subscribe to this to get work done. They sometimes need to
deal with issues, and get support. Building cohousing is a long difficult
process, and I feel the need to help others achieve it. Part of that is
going to be stuff that others will not care to talk about. Just ignore that
topic, and others will come around.

By the way, very clever name!;) How about Cohousing L'amour?
