[quote=Anonymous]Maybe they think you do work for them? If they're new to homeownership, they may not realize that you are their neighbor and a board volunteer, not a paid staff member or part of a management company. (I know, I know... but some people really are that stupid.)

Next time they start in, you need to clarify:
"Bert, it sounds like you and Ernie have some very specific ideas about how our neighborhood should be managed. Like you, I'm a resident, not a property manager, so I can only do so much -- my real job keeps me pretty busy. We'd love to have your energy on the board -- why not consider serving a term yourself? Our next meeting is Aug. 15."

"Yeah, I'm pretty busy so I wouldn't be able to volunteer the way you do. But let me tell you about how the grass should be cut..."

"As I said, our next meeting is Aug. 15. If you have ideas, either add them to the agenda that gets circulated on the neighborhood listserv in advance, or show up at the pool house at 7:00. Good to see you, but I gotta run."[/quote]
