Apparently a number of LUG members, including founding member Clay
Fandre, more than a couple of others, and myself.  Just because you

in good taste to do so.  

I'm not interested in being the etiquette police, but there are a lot
of people who *do* like kids, and no one on the list who wasn't one
once.  So chill on the 'tude, dude, or take it off-list.

don't get credit for them if you haven't learned them by doing your
own work? ;)
