I don't mean for this to sound tacky, so if it does, I apologize in advance.

I don't know of any of us who were/are forced to buy in and live here. For us, it was strictly our choice. We had property in another community, and there is absolutely no camparison; thus, the decision to sell that and be here. Absolutely NO regrets, either.

As for Ms. Ritchie, I would like to know how she is privvy to the developers' finances. Where does she get that the developers have spent "$209,000" already of our money on expensive lawyers? How does she know who's money it is or what they spend for what? I don't know why she has such an ax to grind, anyway. Whose face would have landed flat had this whole concept and place been a total bust? Certainly not hers and certainly not mine. How can she or anyone else explain the phenominal growth and success of this place if everything the developers do is wrong and in the eyes of some, "greedy"? Do they think the Morses should make all the investment, take all the chances of success or failure, and if successful, furnish it all to us for nothing? (Let me know if you find such a place with such developers.)

I, for one, have more immediate things to be concerned over than what may not even come to fruition, much less anytime soon.

Thanks, Ed, for all your good research and information. Ms. Ritchie could take some lessons from you in research.
