Followup---Here's what I did...3 things:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the entry page <http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/join/> I changed the
first paragraph from:

   How do I join?
       To become a LUGNET member, first familiarize yourself with
       LUGNET's Terms of Use, then fill out the lifetime membership
       enrollment form.

to:

   How do I join?
       To become a LUGNET member, first familiarize yourself with
       LUGNET's Terms of Use, then fill out the lifetime membership
       enrollment form.  (Kids, make sure you have permission from a
       parent or guardian first.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the top of <http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/join/enroll.html>
I added a third paragraph:

   (Kids, make sure you have permission from a parent or guardian
   first before giving out any personal information.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And at the bottom of <http://www.lugnet.com/people/members/join/enroll.html>
I added a new paragraph and a pair of radio buttons:

   Once again, it's important to stress:  Kids, make sure you have
   permission from a parent or guardian before submitting this form!
   Select one of the following:

      o  I am 18 years of age or older.

      o  I am not yet 18 years of age.  I have the permission and
         approval of my parent(s) or legal guardian(s) to fill out
         this form and to provide personal information about myself.
         I am not submitting information without their knowledge and
         consent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
