Does any one who plans on going to the Cleveland get-together have a
problem with my being <18 (by about 3 months)?  If not, is there anyone
who wants to give me a ride from Cleveland Heights to wherever the
meeting is?

The only thing I guess I would add [here] is probably an obvious point.  I
think that this issue is one for each of the groups to solve on their own.
I am sure that some groups will handle things different than NELUG and that
is great.  That way we call all learn from each other.

It sure would be unfortunate, IMHO, if any group ever didn't let Bram come
to their meetings because of his age.  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 sure the same could probably be said for TimC and several
others in the 16-17 age range who get along perfectly fine with adults.
