It was much more clarifying to an average reader (me). What may be teachable (?) is what someone on video TV once said, "words, Sheldon, use your words".
However, there was one little idea in that post that I am still "hazy" about. I will re-read it a few times and then perhaps have some more questions?

OK, my mileage is still varying, but my haze is lifting (like the weather). I NEVER asked the question, "why not raise the age limit." Even I am not that STUPID (hopefully)! I did ask, "why NOT keep the age limit at 55 and increase the PERCENTAGE of the over 55 and therefore DECREASED the numbers of the under age 55 from 20 % to SAY (?)
5 %. Your basic answer seems to be that The Villages organization saw the ABOUT age 75 type population as dying out and started marketing in south TV Land toward the next younger generation (you called them 1/3 of the available buyers)
OK, now everything is fine, my "haze" has started clearing up and I have CLOSURE on the concepts. I appreciate your "laying more words on me" to help. Thank you, have a GREAT holiday season, and to all a good night !!!!
