> Envy of being included? It does sound like "painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage"...
I'm not sure that it does...
It seems to be painful
But I'm not seeing it as resentful
And I don't see the 'desire to possess the same advantage'...Not if the 'advantage' is seen as membership of a small board anyway.
If the advantage is the desire to feel included... Well... Perhaps.
Becuase some people who don't feel included on the bigger boards might have more chance of feeling included on the smaller boards.
Hmm.
