Please note:  If:
a) Your initials are B.W.
b) Your first name is Bob
c) You are prejudiced against those under 5'7"
d) You have an interest in alt.kids
, please continue reading.  Otherwise, hit [space] now.

AAAAAARGGH!!!! I can't believe this attitude!  What do you MEAN,
"inappropriate?" In what way?  Why should those under 18 be denied access to
a public-access network?  And in any case, you misspelled Compu$erve.  The 
'$' is important - without it you lose the full meaning of the word, for
Compu$erve is the domain of they who have the ca$h. 
	The Usenet is a wonderful system.  I never fail to find at least an
hour's worth of interesting reading every day.  Why should kids such as
myself be denied an open forum to express our own views, and be assured of
having an audience of our peers?  I KNOW that there are many kids on the
net, and all we need is a group for a kind of free conversation found
nowhere else, and for the cost of a phone call, no more.
