Cohousing-L Mailing List: Use of email

[Malcolm Eva (malcolm]

Hello all

I'm interested in how US coho groups control use of email as an internal 
communications channel.  Do you find that you need to enforce an email 
etiquette?  Does it sometimes spill over into an emotional blame and shame 
storm, or is it always courteous?  How do you control a situation where some 
people will not use email, while others converse almost always by email?

Do group moderators need to be very hands-on, or is that felt to be too 
intrusive and heavy-handed in a community?  We're heading for a single issue 
residents' meeting on this topic soon, and I'd be interested in knowing your 
experiences and solutions first.

Thanks
