It is very limited. But, while I can imagine how it works for a housing co-op for example I have difficulties to see how a school co-op would be much more cost effective than a public school while still providing good quality education. And I don't necessarily mean an average US public school. I think wa all agree that there are deficits. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
