| (...) That's just the thing, Matt. By the time she's "old enough", she'll be in Israel, it will make no difference to her. In my own opinion, as an outsider, I can't understand why exceptions absolutely *will not* be made. I joined GMLUG when I was (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| (...) I'm sure they are, but I probably won't be coming. I was hoping to spend all day there but I was coming for the people, not the fireworks. And anyhow, I'm not feeling extremely patriotic... the 4th is an American holiday per se and I am not, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.people)

| 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, (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| (...) Well, it doesn't seem like people are planning on being there earlier. Too bad, there goes your chance at seeing I don't bite. Oh well, guess it'll be another one of the "this is supposed to be fun?!" holidays for me. -Shiri (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

| I'm not involved in NELUG, but I want to contribute a comment: When I was 14, I belonged to a computer user group. I think the parallels will be clear. Once a month I cajoled an older person to drive me over to Texas Tech for a few crammed hours of (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.org.us, lugnet.org.us.nelug)

I expect, without trying to be too presumptuous, that you also get a few glances because you're in a demographic minority as far as the hobby is concerned, even insofar as it applies to "adults."

| 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) !!
