It's not like this is a passport to get into the country, it's a verification that someone is allowed to use a pool. Not something to get all worked up about and start being a snitch on the Villages employees that are using common sense. Let the Villages employees do their jobs and MYOB.
*Now* we're getting somewhere. :-) Discretion or follow the dern rules? Does one report Anne Frank?

Never understood why reductio ad absurdum is sometimes categorized as a logical fallacy, so this gave me the opportunity to once again learn via googlage:

"If used in its traditional sense of the term, reductio ad absurdum can be a valid argument. However, it is also a form of logical fallacy when used incorrectly to dismiss an entire argument".

Now I guess I'm gonna have to delve deeper into bar codage. :-(
