My point exactly. We have always got far more than we asked for when we dealt with Warranty here in The Villages. They are from the midwest too, most of them. I learned early on from my mother; "You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar".

The truth is, no matter what company policy is anywhere, if you are patient and polite, you will end up far better than if you swagger and challenge. I really believe that. AND some things like what happens to the property adjacent to yours is pretty much up to luck. You never know what will happen as times change or, for instance something terrible like the inmates getting control of the asylum. I sense that working right now.
