| In defense of the limit: there is another factor beyond what you listed. The liability issue provides a reason to make the line at exactly 18 (although we actually talked about making it 21). The "babysitting" concern wouldn't apply in your case, (...) (26 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| Hey everybody... I've been working with John Neal and we thought we could get the ldraw.org vinyl banner for $100, but realized that different printing methods wouldn't give us the result we need.
