We feel that haveing a Kidlug newsgroup on Lugnet will encourage kids to
become involved in Lugnet beyond us. They can come in throuhg this board, and
then move on, generating new users for Lugnet. It also advertises for Kidlug,
but that's a minor point. I hope that answers your question, and I really
apologize for so much confusion. It is just that our visions aren't quite as
specific as they should be. Aaron
