Please, let's be accurate.  We don't know that the majority of AERC members is
happy the way it is because no one's ever asked them.

I started a petition to put this before the members as a Bylaws revision, but
for various reasons didn't follow through.  I still believe a majority of AERC
members would support a minimum age for riders, but it takes a 2/3 majority to
change the Bylaws and I don't know if we would get that.

But regardless of where the majority lies, I still believe as strongly as ever
that the AERC should have a minimum age for juniors, that it is irresponsible of
the AERC to not have one, and the fact that we don't is likely to come back to
haunt us someday.
