My point is that you're in exactly the same position as you were 12 years ago when you joined the PAC, which is not in the P2 and not at the adult table. So it's silly to make a big stink about it now. Even if you didn't comprehend it at the time, the PAC was always a dead man walking. All that can be done is improve the situation we're in and try to make sure the B12 doesn't follow suit (or pray for a P2 invite but fat chance).
The good news is that there's very little impetus for an actual P2 breakaway when a de facto one has almost all the benefits and none of the downsides. So as long as we can at least keep pace, we get to stay at the kiddy table (which is just as much access as either of us have ever had, if not better). Not as good as the adult table, but at least we're not out in the cold like everyone else.
