Kids, but aside from KIDLUG, we may host a general LUG convention, but that
really is in the works. Sorry about the confusion, perhaps when KIDLUG is
finished it will be easier to interpret. The reason why we don't have such a
complicated system, is so that we can bring young Lego Maniacs into the
newsgroups, and they participate.

but I just wanted to keep that uniform, because it is actually our main banner
rotation. If that's the case, then I will hcnage that, and hopefully we can
resolve some of these issues. Again, I'm really sorry about all this
confusion. I hope we can work this out and move on to other things. Aaron
