| | | | | (...) Actually, I don't think it's that difficult, per se, it's just that it's more work than it's worth. I'd rather not go through making permission slips for parents to fill out, etc., just to have a silly old meeting... to date the meetings have (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.org.us)

| | | | (...) At what age would you say children *don't* have to be accompanied by an adult? Sixteen? Do you know of a legal basis for that kind of decision? Of course, we wouldn't want any child to come without permission. Jeff P.S. I'm wondering because (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.org.us)

If you are going to have a cutoff (which currently NELUG does see (URL) ) I (...) (25 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.org.us)

I am sure that some groups will handle things different than NELUG and that is great. That way (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.oh)

I met Bram at MindFest last month, and if I hadn't known his age ahead of time, I'd have probably assumed he was 19 or 20. I'm (...) (25 years ago, 19-Nov-99, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.loc.us.oh)
