There are many others. Search this forum back a few days, and you’ll see a thread titled: “Young Posters” or something similar to that.

Yeah, we’re around. I, at one point, was the youngest doper here. Now several are under 15… but I was 13 when I signed on.

Yeah, I’m 15 and pretty new here. I’d read Cecil’s columns for a long time, but just reccently decided to come over to the boards. I’ve seen a couple other young dopers as well.

About 6 months before I can legally screw Jeremy Irons and Julia Roberts at the same time while covered in Jello and Reddi-Whip. That’s good, because the threat of scandal is freaking all three of us out. 😉
