If it is any consolation a few years ago I was invited to a "veterans" football match.
The minimum age to qualify was 35.

Apparently the needs to learn to use the words in a more appropriate way is universal.  :D

This is one of the most fitting post for this aptly named section in NG!

I cannot congratulate more, Dave!

David, they could have been more cruel if they had described you as a "Vintage Photographer"!  LOL  ;D

More seriously though, you certainly deserve the more positive accolades that they made in respect of your work.  I am certainly pleased to have seen your many posts here on NG.

Sure wish I could be there to see your show!

Just think of "veteran" as "wise & experienced". That's not so bad!  ;D
