True, younger people can make for as good GMs as older people, but it's a fact of life that younger people are generally less mature and do stupid selfish things like cheating and ruining it for everyone. It is unfortunate that all kids have to be lumped together as possible troublemakers, but again and again troublemakers are almost always kids and those who are not, act like kids. There's a number of younger people on these boards that have built up a lot of respect with other members of this board (twins15 first comes to mind, but there are others) and I don't think anyone seriously regards them as potential troublemakers anymore, just because they have built up that respect. However, until we get to know others better, for the sake of ensuring that our leagues have as few possible troublemakers as possible, I think it is important to at least keep an eye on the younger ones. And if that means you all get grouped together, all I can say is, it sucks, we understand, but we went through it and it seems necessary.
