As the self appointed paranoiac    (1) user of Lugnet, I just want to suggest
that you should have some wording on the application itself to minors and
other kiddies out there that they should be speaking with their parents before
handing over all of that information to Lugnet

Mmm, good idea, thanks.

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.

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