talk about computers on dates? Wake up in the middle of the night with

running? Host IRC parties? Wish you had somewhere to talk about it? You

Confederation of Future Computer Professionals
The CFCP is a collection of users -- mostly young -- who love computers and
plan to be the leaders in the fields of computers in the future. We welcome
discussions on our mailing list about _any_ computer-related topic, and are
working toward establishing ourselves as a viable information source.

in what they're doing, and these people have varied fields of expertise.

Hey, Mark. We all understand your boundless enthusiasm at being a
premier juvinile computer geek. Hell, when I qualified as 'young', I fit
the profile myself (even though we didn't have computers widely available).
So, this public followup is not about demonstration of geek pride.
It is about posting to comp.wizards - this posting is not wizardly.
Normally, I don't get involved in net.police, but your strident calls
to congress appear on more or less a regular basis.
May I suggest merely distributing it into one or more of the fine *.answer
groups? I'm sure your distinguished clientele is sophisticated enough
to look there for these types of announcements.
Thank you, and happy bonding w/your peers.

I'm not so sure about his clientele, since he's looking for it in
alt.kids-talk, misc.kids, misc.kids.computer, which are the only groups
where his article belongs and where it should have been posted.

kids-talk, kids, and kids.computer, eh? Question for you... Where exactly
does it say that a young person cannot also be a unix wizard, or an
admin, etc, etc?
Or want to be, for that matter? Not EVERYONE that reads comp.unix.wizards
IS a wizard, not everyone that reads comp.unix.admin IS an admin... But they
obviously have the interest, or they wouldn't be reading the group. The young
people that CFCP is targeted at surely read these groups, so therefore, these
groups are the proper place to post to, eh?
Just my $.02.
