to have other resources that would help you. see also <A

<DIV>Finally, you could try to find others who would like to do this, who have
less of a troublemaker rep, to make the proposal. Alternatively, you can charge
in and make the case, while behind the scenes organizing support. </DIV>

the way, the Rules Committee of our condo association is holding hearings on
some revisions to the book of rules. One rule forbids drying laundry on
balconies. The condo board, however, is becoming sensitive to the cost of
energy, which represents 1/3 of operating costs.<BR><BR>By the same token, they
are a stodgy lot, and have already pegged me as a trouble maker.

contested, or of success stories, etc...<BR><BR>-AA<BR><BR><BR><BR clear=all><B
