[QUOTE=Mallory;217241]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.

All that and an address in TV. Sounds like a business to me, and if the way to get around the deed restrictions is to have a PO Box outside TV, then that's what's got to happen.
While it may not be bothering anyone, and you may have been ratted out by someone, it doesn't change the fact that by all indications you're breaking the rules, even if it's a technicality. Your choice as to whether or not to fight, or change your address.
Granted the rules can be stupid about certain things, but they are the rules that we (consciuosly or not) signed up for. So either obey them, or get them changed. And of course you should always be careful about what people know about you.
