That isn't at all what you suggested, this is what you stated:

It appears that the assumptions were your own. Your comments (made with AUTHORITY) were based on nothing more than a negative stereotype -- the same sort of "tent talk" that is discouraged here.

She has admonished me for being her mother's age (a woman of my "advanced age" lol). She said she was in school upthread.

Actually, what 33girl said is true. READ what she said. She said that it is competitive in SOME PLACES. Not everywhere. Some places. That is perfectly true. And yes, I can say that with some authority, since I have been a dues-paying member of 3 different AJLI-affiliated Leagues in 3 different parts of the country since 2002, including being a delegate to an ODI where I met women from countless other Leagues and learned about their processes. There are some Leagues that are extremely competitive. It may not be the norm anymore, but that doesn't make 33girl's statement anything less than absolutely true.

(And I am quite certain I am not in any kind of clique on GC.)
