People, lists, and movements go through highs and lows. Some of the 
people from the good old days post much less often, having moved on. 
Rob posts less . Liz Stevenson I miss a lot. Some have become 
professionals and now are too busy building cohousing to post as much 
as they used to.

And there are more books and more real communities to visit so people 
don't need the list as much as they once did.

And the movement has matured. People are more realistic which isn't 
half as inspiring as being idealistic. Cohousing is a lot of work.
