I agree the responses were most gratifying.  However I have not had any
responses from anyone who wished to remain anonymous.  I guess the folks
who have been Disillusioned by cohousing and have experiences they'd not
like to be identified with, those folks have already moved on, never came
here or don't exist.  It's hard to know.

I renew my offer to post responses anonymously.

The thread, of course, will be available in the archives.
I think all of them can be found by searching for
"*llusioned"   without quotes.

Maybe I'll put a link to the thread at http://l.cohousing.org/ which is
probably due for a make over to become the Cohousing-L Reference Page.

I am very sorry about the typo there.  Chris had pointed it out when I
sent him/her a draft and I corrected it about 3 places in the body of the
message but missed the Subject line!  And I'm always arguing how much care
the subject line deserves!  I'm embarassed.
