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
