As a NELUG member, I'd love to hear stories/experiences specificially from
16-17 year olds (or 18-year-olds if you were once 16-17 as part of a LUG)
who are members of other LUGs in the U.S....this might help me form a more
solid opinion if the age issue is put to a formal vote at a future NELUG
meeting.

* As a 16-17-year-old, how do/did you feel about being allowed into your
  local LUG?  Grateful?  Take it for granted?  Surprised?

* How would you feel if you weren't allowed?

* What would you do (instead, to compensate) if the limit were 18 -- i.e.,
  if you weren't allowed?

* How has it enriched your life to be a member at age 16-17 as opposed to
  having to wait until you were 18?

* What would you recommend to a 16-year-old in an area where the local LUG's
  age requirement is 18+ ?

Thanks,

--Todd

Todd, If I may be so bold, I would like to recommend an additional question that may be relevant to your poll. * If you are an adult and you belong to a club/group with younger ( e.g. 16-17 ) members, do you feel that their presence in the (...)

Hey all, I'm posting here to explain my opinion(s) about the age limitation in NELUG. I've talked to many people about my stand on this, especially during and after the WAMALUG Brickfest. Many people there expressed their agreement with what I said, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.loc.us.ma, lugnet.general, lugnet.people) !!
