You may want to read your quote again but pretend it was directed at you.

Well, it was an attempt to be both. I'll leave it to the readers as to whether it succeeded or not. I do admit, though, that it wasn't all that funny.

As to your last point, had I posted a message such as you did, I would fervently hope that someone would take me to task, likely more harshly than I did you. I'm not going to get into which "authorities" you contacted at the beginning of this kerfuffle -- all too often, specific offices are not aware of what other offices do, some employees aren't fully aware of their total responsibilities, and sometimes intended requirements in a community of 15,000 should have been dropped when the community grew but somehow stayed in the boilerplate --- shouldn't happen, but it does.

And it's good that you continue to cite selective restriction enforcement in your annual survey -- as noted, others do too. What is rather presumptuous is that "they" must have selective hearing, because this sin continues despite you citing it in your survey.

Believe it or not, it's not all about you. I've talked to the folks at the Deed Compliance Office, and believe me, they have a tough job. Being fair and balanced without being draconian ain't easy. Instead of waiting for the annual survey, if you have a question about specific deed restrictions (like this stupid vacation notification, maybe) or general enforcement, why not email or call Janet Tutt or Nick Xenos, the Deed Compliance guy. Then, if you do get a "Gee, I didn't know that was in there.", you'll be talking to someone who can fix it.
