The YPP is like going to the doctor to get your shots as a kid. It's going to sting a little and you'll go in kicking and screaming, but if you want to play with the other kids (larger, wider reaching organizations) and be healthy, you need to sit through it.
If anything going through the process as an alternate contact made me wonder a)why this hasn't been done sooner and b) why some people seem unaccustomed to these practices working in a school-based environment (which a lot of mentors do).
The idea of having to opt-out of my personal information is silly, but it is what it is. It's not something worthy of pontificating over when there are so many worthwhile topics directly, instead of tangentially, related to FIRST the community can easily beat to death.
