And when the trust is created, the trustee should be in the position as Co-owner and a subsequent beneficiary to administer and recieve the benefits and rewards...

Actually, it wasn't a trick question at all. It just required more reading comprehension rather than math skills. In fact, it required almost no math, or at least some of the easiest math possible, unless you're Roman and leave a certain important number out of your lexicon.
Care to give it another whack?

It is not accepted practice here to applaud oneself for milepost achievements, plus I've been wondering if there isn't a minimum age requirement for milepost achievements?
If Cholula wakes up long enough to give us a ruling, we'll go with that.
Until then, this is a poll. The poll will end when the results match my expectations.
Should recipients of La Revolución milepost recognition be 21 years of age or older?
Please responded "yes" or "no".
Most of us left our guidance counselors before voicemail ever existed.
We know. There's a time stamp on your posting. The big hand is on 2 and the little hand is on 12. The little hand might move around a bit depending on what little-hand-zone you're in.
It's not quantity that matters in La Revolución, it's getting just the right one.

There are at least 2 FTers I can name that are closer to my age.
I was saying that because there are people like you that don't live in the same time zone as me and see that the time is 1 hour behind.
As a matter of fact, our Lounge™ bylaws are quite clear that the winner of a major milepost award needs to be 21 and the winner of a minor milepost award needs to be 18. Quite often these awards are accompanied by much revelry which also includes the consumption of copious amounts of adult beverages.
And we certainly do not wish to be accused of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
I think we need to designate N639DL as Acting Winner until such time as he reaches the age of majority and can prove same to us.

I do not quite understand why such an amount of time and energy is wasted on dialogue with a 15 year old.
Just put him on the ignore list and forget about him (unless you think that paying attention to him might help you connect with Mom and have some monkey business with her).

However, we all know that N639DL = tjisnumbaone and his age is now 16 years old.
I totally agree that we should not contribute to any minor's delinquency.
I propose that the said milepost 'in escrow' be considered to be placed 'in trust' with the next milepost poster as the trustee until such time as the actual recipient of the milepost reaches maturity upon their 18th birthday.

Just about ready to run to the toilet...
I don't get why this age discrimination is necessary.

There's hope...
As you're not yet of legal voting age, your opinion is not counted.
Scratch that hope.
Yeah, and I ended up never making it that day either. Some other time. Seriously. I'm there a lot. Just about to leave my home now to head there. Did some spotting last night. A rare runway configuration with landings on 33, 27 and lighter AC on 32. Departures in the gaps on 27. There was a deep queue for departures, as you might imagine.
Yeah, that's where I ran to when I was your age and saw some hot chicks.
Because it's hilarious?

Name away. And, while you are at it, you should tell us how you really feel about them.
I've lost count of how many times you've told us this as well. I think this is #2.
Oh boy. Sadly, from my activities officiating High School students I would not be surprised if that was true. Then again, most of the adults that I officiate have the maturity of a 16 year old when on the field. Those damn petulant adults.
Hoping someone else isn't already in there. Otherwise your mom may have a mess to clean!

Actually...

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older from employment discrimination based on age.

For example, you can't tell a mom with a 2yo they can't rent your apartment. That'd be discriminating against the 2yo for being too young.

This isn't an election for the President, everyone's opinion should be concerned.
It's true.
We will have to some other time. I really don't like the whole runway 14/32 idea, there's no point in making that runway if it rarely gets used and is only 5,000 feet long.
I've met a lot of hot chicks.
It's not hilarious - it's hurtful.
Age discrimination claims only apply to instances where someone is being discriminated against for being too old not too young.

I'd rather not.
It's actually 2,000 times I've told you.
Yeah there are a lot of immature kids these days...

We were just processing pictures we took at the Cabbage DO in Alaska this week and came across this one taken by Mrs Cholula:
That glacier had just calved and set off the mini-tsunami you see in the foreground.
And this group of Stellar Sea Lions certainly look laid back enough for The Lounge™:

Snip . . .
I don't think there should be a minimum age requirement. That would be age discrimination. I don't care if you're messing/joking or being completely serious, that's age discrimination.
I'm 16. I have lost count of how many times I've told you this.
Is this really necessary?
I'm pretty mature compared to most kids in my school.

I stopped counting the second time.
If you have to ask.
What tool are you using to measure?

I shouldn't have to ask for age discrimination against me to stop happening.
You could do many things to prove and disprove maturity.
