Closing Time: Last Call?

Today, we finally got an amendment giving us a new closing date of March 30, 2007. Why is it that we, the buyers, have to remind these people that they need to send out amendments extending our closing date? Where is their sense of responsibility?

This will be our third closing date. Some have had as many as five. I have to wonder if they're still telling those with new contracts that the build time is six months.

At least this new closing date comports with the ETA that the builder gave us. That's just coincidence, mind you. I've recently learned that the closing dates aren't meant to be real closing dates - they are dates assigned to groups of us without regard to the particular building schedule for our homes.
