Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: I was misunderstood again... sorry for stimulating the energy

[Mac Thomson (mac]

Thank you for this clarification Craig.  I thought that's what you  
were saying in your original post, but I wasn't completely sure and  
when I read the numerous responses, I was even more in doubt.

IMHO, cohousing is still very much a fledgling movement with so very  
much to offer our culture.  We can not afford any rivalry between coho- 
l, Coho/US, etc.  I recoil at any hint of such rivalry and celebrate  
when I witness the cooperation and mutual support that most often  
characterizes this movement.  I'm happy to be part of it with all of  
you.

Cheers,
Mac
