I'm not used to being referred to in all seriousness as SCA "Old Guard".
Yes, I've been in for twenty years. But to the extent that I think of Old Guard, I think of people who were peers when I met them back then. Not me now.

I don't think of myself that way either...

LOL, yes, it has a way of creeping up on you, doesn't it? I like to think I keep an open mind to new ideas, but there are some advantages to being a dinosaur. For example, I occassionally find myself in the position of having to explain to the "youngsters" that the reason some policy they are currently railing against was put in place because we already had the debates they are rehashing now and it was the best solution we could come up with at the time. It may no longer be the best solution, but it sure saves a lot of wasted debate time when you can focus on just the deltas between the situation and the time and the current situation.

To al three of you...

Yes you are Old Guard.
One word... COPE.

None of us feel like old timers, because we remember everybody who was Old Guard when we started.

I often feel like an old, beat-up wreck of a Newbie. Manhattans help.

I prefer a G&T myself.
