"noel": Let me piggyback on that. There are three types of roadgeeks. Lurkers, newbies, and established ones. Lurkers are the ones who more or less never post. All of the usernames with less than 10 posts here. Their role is to enjoy, but they typically don't join us. That's fine. Newbies include you. You aren't established. You haven't met or talked with a bunch of people - nor can you, at your age. Becoming established is a process. You post. You ask. You observe. You learn. You gain respect by doing these things and knowing your place. In time, we come to accept you, and you become established.
If someone established - like me - were to suggest a modification - such as using I-283 as a short link instead of directly connecting to I-83 - the meet organizer would consider it. That's because I have experience with meets and understand the types of small changes that might be acceptable to the organizer as well as beneficial to attendees. (I've clinched I-283, but many people have not, and it's low-hanging fruit and doesn't really take much time. And it wouldn't replace anything else on the meet.)
If someone who is not established suggests a modification, it is not taken so well. You do not understand the process. You have no experience with meets. You don't know us personally. You come across as a know-it-all and someone who wants things your way. That is not your role, and you will learn that over time with age. You should observe us, and learn from us, and let us call the shots until you have enough experience to become established. Then we will listen to and respect you. It takes time, patience, and maturity.
