Re: : Feeding Questions

I probably qualify as an "Ancient" by your definition.  But I think it would
be great to have someone younger do all of the organizing.  I learned long
ago you need to let young people do their own thing, let them make their own
inevitable mistakes, and learn from them.  Most people my age that I am
acquainted with feel the same way.  I say - Go For It.  We are not so bad.
