Property Rights??? What Stinking Property Rights
The Commonwealth of Virginia is fortunate to have a 4 seasons resort known as Massanutten. Whether you want to ski, play golf, visit wineries, swim, hike or visit the new water park - Massanutten has something for everybody.
The fact that this area is so great has caused the mountain's development to grow. There is a sizeable time-share community on the mountain. Then, a sizeable number of individually owned homes that are rented on some weekends exit. Finally, some individuals have chosen to retire or live year-round on the mountain.
Well, even though property values have gone through the roof on the mountain, the year-round residents now want to exclude weekend rentals, claiming that they cause too much noise, traffic and problems in the community. For some reason, (obviously money) they haven't taken on the time-share corporation to exclude time-shares.
To me - this is just crazy. I mean, come on!!! First, you bought a house on a freaking mountain resort!!! Secondly, your property value has gained through the development. And, thirdly, if you want to be absolutely pure, why aren't you taking on the time shares???
A similar analogy would be this: After years of begging for posting rights, Tim and Colin finally gave them to me. Would I, now, legally move to exclude them from posting on this blog?
Where is the outrage?

Seeing as how Colin and I have more or less ceased posting on the blog as of late (in my case) and for a while now (in his case), you might have an argument for adverse possesion of the blog.
I think we need to hire overpriced lawyers who went to Stanford to settle this...
