The headline (a play on the title of a U2 song) was to get attention – because that's what headlines are for. The words 'secret society” were an obvious exaggeration to illustrate one end of the communication spectrum. Both were phrased as questions, not statements. Nothing else in what I wrote took sides one way or the other.
However, looking around this website, there are ECs that do operate like secret societies, keeping owners out as much as possible and not even fulfilling the statutory requirements of meeting minutes and agendas. They are few and there are remedies but they exist. Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.
By the way, something that has come out of this discussion is that ECs seem to evolve their own ways of handling this depending on personalities in the committee and the building as a whole. There's no right or wrong way. Different strokes for different folks … and that's what strata is all about.
