.......................................................................................... WHY ARE THESE MEN LAUGHING?

Everyone can READ these chat board messages and learn the truth.

However, only residents of Rossmoor, in Walnut Creek, California, may post.

Chat boards are merely an innovative use of email in a group setting. If you email, you already know how to post messages.

Topics are anything of interest to the community - from humor to politics.

Exchange views, ask questions and trade info. Consumer matters are popular, often involving referrals to tradesmen, housekeepers or caregivers.

Plus, you can:

- rate restaurants

- post recipes

- tip others to sales or good prescription drug prices

- post messages about items
- - - - - lost
- - - - - found
- - - - - wanted
- - - - - or to be traded
- - - - - or sold.

Many residents feel our GRF Board communications outlets (newspaper, TV, web sites) have absurdly prohibitive, exclusionary content policies. Ergo, yourrossmoor, run independently by residents, NOT by any part of GRF, the mutuals or any club or organization. We welcome letters, articles or op/ed pieces, especially those rejected by the Rossmoor News.

The goal of this latest Rossmoor amenity is community enhancement by making residents better connected and involved. Hopefully, this will contribute to improvement in management, self-government, and overall daily life in our valley.

You are responsible for what you post, so please be careful. We reserve the right to revoke the membership of those who are not. The chat board is intended for Rossmoorians of all (or no) political views.

Views stated do not necessarily represent the views of the webmasters, other chat board members, or of the Rossmoor community in general. The webmasters take no responsibility for the factual accuracy of the content of messages.

And please, no commercial or promotional posts such as messages from realtors.

Happy posting!
