joefritz@pawl.rpi.edu (Jochen M. Fritz) asked in <^N+ZQ|@rpi.edu>:

| The question is: do enough kids  have access to the  net to justify such
| a group [as alt.kids-talk]?

There aren't a very large number of people like Antony Courtney and Narciso
Jamarillo around the corporate and university sites, perhaps, but I think
Jochen is overlooking the public sites, such as those from which Ben Feen
(who first proposed the group) and I (a former kid, admittedly) read news.

Followups to news.gripes, er, .froups, please.
