Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: How is "cheap" green? / "rehashing"

One of the problems with mixing old and new members on the same list  
is that the old members are tired of topics that are vital to the new  
members. Searching the archives for messages takes away from the  
feeling of conversation and currency that question and answer has.  
It's more like doing research.

The old members are needed on the list to help the newer members but  
they do get bored sometimes. I think it's important to remember that  
the  list changes as new people join and older people unsubscribe  
either because they have joined a community or have given up on the  
idea.

We once talked about starting a list for people who had been in  
cohousing for 5 years to focus on different kinds of questions but  
nothing ever happened.
