I can tell you it isn't. Let me tell you, it's not easy to say things like
this, which is why I'm glad Chris is saying what I think, simply because he
knows what I'm going through.
It's hard to say this, but yeah- I AM alone here. It's hard to grasp, perhaps.
But it's too true. And I hear about my friends in Israel having fun, people at
my school partying, and AFOLs in Boston getting together - what can I say, am
the only one NOT having fun here? Looks like it.

I don't feel like it's personal *against* me.
But I do think it *should* be personal *for* me.

I don't expect _you_ personally to do anything right now except think about
it. I mean *really* think if keeping me out of NELUG meetings is worth it, and
if standing your grounds for a principle is worth excluding me.
I also hope, and maybe even expect, that you guys talk about it next meeting,
and seriously consider either:
a. making in exception in my case
or
b. changing the cutoff age
Like I said-- just think about it. Thanks.
