    I am an Accountant. I just happen to write related software for personal/company use. Although I am 'The Tech Guy' at work I am employed as accounant! There are many unemployed people here too, and students, should they be banned? Or, as we mostly seem to be wise enough adults, (sorry Ravel, about the adult, not the wise bit), is it the Spirit of the law that we need to address. I have asked questions on programming fora, and have, so some small degree, assisted in answering some questions I have seen there. I feel that qualifies as much as being the likes of #1 or CG or Pete O or the JSOP.

      Heh. Age has a nasty way of sneaking up on you. I got blindsided 2 years ago at 25 when my baby brother graduated high school.

        Well, that tells me that the "kid sister rule" is not only pointless, but rendered completely moot - on all forums. It also disallows any discussions/references/jokes/satire regarding race, religion, politics, national origin, sexual orientation, physical handicap, hair color, or the weather. I guess all they want us talking about here is programming. That means that fully 95 percent of the Indian programmers shouldn't even have an account here (and the remaining 5% is a highly generous assumption).

                                And why should your kid sister be any more special than my kid brother? Well, he doesn't exist but that's not the point. It's a sexist, stupid rule.

                                  That's too damn much text to go through. I'm not a lawyer. :( I hope I get a warning, should I step over the line...

                                    I am an Accountant. I just happen to write related software for personal/company use. Although I am 'The Tech Guy' at work I am employed as accounant! There are many unemployed people here too, and students, should they be banned? Or, as we mostly seem to be wise enough adults, (sorry Ravel, about the adult, not the wise bit), is it the Spirit of the law that we need to address. I have asked questions on programming fora, and have, so some small degree, assisted in answering some questions I have seen there. I feel that qualifies as much as being the likes of #1 or CG or Pete O or the JSOP.

                                    I think this is designed to cover them, if needed, not define who actually joins. You're an accountant ? Want to do my taxes for me ? I'll answer your programming questions in return.....

                                        Heh. Age has a nasty way of sneaking up on you. I got blindsided 2 years ago at 25 when my baby brother graduated high school.

                                          Well, that tells me that the "kid sister rule" is not only pointless, but rendered completely moot - on all forums. It also disallows any discussions/references/jokes/satire regarding race, religion, politics, national origin, sexual orientation, physical handicap, hair color, or the weather. I guess all they want us talking about here is programming. That means that fully 95 percent of the Indian programmers shouldn't even have an account here (and the remaining 5% is a highly generous assumption).
