(and in no way commenting or detracting from the call for discussion),
how would you define "Kids"?  How will you decide who is a "kid" and
qualified to post to rec.kids?  Note the lack of smiley's in this paragraph.

The point is that once the definition of kids is established, one would
quickly get to the stage where we had kids of different development stages
posting, and this wouldn't mix any better than (what an example!) posters of
different experience level on the current 'NET groups.

What would be the charter (have I missed it somewhere)?
