Just wondering if this dust-up may be caused and has come up on the radar screen by a number of factors not generally found in an ebay business, home watch, MaryKay parties, etc. home business type of operation which have been mentioned previously -

1. TOTV is incorporated.
2. TOTV accepts paid advertising.
3. TOTV has locations in multiple states (PA, TN) and countries (Canada).
4. TOTV is expanding the business to other areas in FL (Polk County if I recall correctly).
5. TOTV uses "The Villages" name and phrase "The Villages, Florida. Your online Community Connection", which may infer or imply that TOTV is an official and authorized entity of The Villages, which we all know it is not.

As far as the relationship with the Post Office goes, I have no idea. I've long since given up trying to figure out their business and how they do it.

PS - Why would a TOTV member blow the whistle on this operation?
