http://lists.cohousing.org/pipermail/cohousing-l/msg50000.html
Congratulations Steve.

I usually use Jan 1, 1993 as the starting date tho it distributed
a few messages before that.  2024 will start our 32nd year.

By the way we are approching a million seconds since the list started.

A few statistics:

Messages per month             varies a lot but:
 140 average since 1/1/1993    Maybe we are making progress
 101 average for 2023          on getting everything discussed.

Note that my estimate is the about 69% of efforts to establish
cohousing fail.  see http://l.cohousing.org/1994-2017.htm
