I must say that I agree to disagree strongly with his generalizations. As for reading every post, I say hats off to Mr. Mack as I have devoutly more time than I can count and I haven't read every post. With that being said, I would tend to think his assumptions are not based on scientifis fact but his sole viewpoint.

I don't think anyone can totally know what's in a persons mind.

I never once said that I used scientific fact in coming to my conclusions. What I did say is that I used the same METHOD that is used by ratings companies and polling groups. I took a small sample (TOTV) and then projected it against a particular universe, that universe being TV itself.

Yes it does sound strange that I have read every post, and I can understand people thinking that this is not possible. However, I have treated our move into the TV area as a full time job since we began plans to move here back in May. Someone noticed that I "joined" in September". That's correct. But I have been looking at & reading TOTV since June. I did not begin commenting until September. There's a big time difference there.

I did the same thing for our house hunting. I looked at literally hundreds of homes, looked up their records from the county websites, and then passed a list each and every day to my wife for her to decide yes or no for the homes on that list.

I worked approximately 12 hours a day 5 days a week on finding out about the area, and things related to it.

When we looked, we looked at homes in TV, Stonecrest, Del Webb/Spruce Creek Golf Club, Legacy, Top Of The World and some standard out-of retirement community homes as well. Since my wife is not at all fond of TV we only looked at a few homes there. BUT...since we are there for her parents, being within and knowing about TV no matter what our community address may be is an absolute must if we are to do the things that are needed for her mother & dad.

I have read newspaper stories about TV, I have read Leisureville, I have watched various video offerings about TV. All give varying opinions about it.

Today I commented about what I have found on TOTV. I probably would have kept my peace, however watching people go after Tom Hannon who's wife got dimed out by the secret lawn police made me mad, and it was exactly this type of behavior and attitude that made me finally speak out about it.
