I'm not trying to be a smart a**, but I have always been curious why we always refer to the Morse family as "The Developer". Its almost like we fear being struck by lightning if we call them by their given names. These folks have a surname. Why don't we just say the Morse family said this....or the Morse family said that...or the Morse family failed to do this or the Morse family deserves....?

By refering to the creators of The Villages (through their generations) as "The Developer" is a little like saying "The Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz." I prefer calling people by their name. Afterall, they are people! They are not hiding behind a curtain!
