[nabs-l] the new Blind Social Talk list has been created!

[Ashley Bramlett]

Desiree,
Okay 30; but yes do grandfather people in.
I'd soon age out of the group. Young adults typically means young 30s.
Often people end college at age 24 or 25 now,
and then seriously date and then engage later. For instance, my brother got 
engaged after college; he dated several years before getting engaged and the 
wedding was three years ago. My brother is
almost 35. So people in their late 20s and thirtys will definitely 
contribute since in American culture this is when the serious dating and 
picking a mate for life begins and when people get employment.

Anyway, thanks for starting the list and I'm glad you will grandfather older 
members continued status.
Ashley

Hi,
As has been said, I think the cutoff age I'm going to allow on the
list is 30. If more people respond and want me to raise it, I'll take
that into consideration. However, if you join the list at 29, you're
probably going to be grandfathered in. I won't kick a person off a
year after they join, particularly if they offer valuable insights to
the group discussions.
