At the risk of beating this to death while the link was unfortunate getting
young people interested in this hobby is tough. The last post is right on. I
recently got my son to get his license but without pushing and prodding it
would not have happened. I encourage everyone to get younger ones involved.
My son gets more spam mail that shows much much more than some naked lady
hanging on a tower. He thought it was okay nothing extra and at age 16 they
have seen far worse. But guess what he is interested in towers !! They are
what is really COOL.
