your response was kind and graceous
I try!
I was hazarding a guess that Mike was 15-16 as he
said he was in year 10 and I didn't want his
parents to think that some strange man was
attempting to lure him out alone late at night to
some bizarre location suspiciously called "SLUG".

and I have no doubt whatsoever that it
carried no slight.

If Mike is a 17yo vs say a 12yo then it is condescending :-)
You're right in that if I thought he was 17-18,
then I would have merely suggested her consider
coming to one of the meetings...the hazards of
e-mail and the Internet: no-one knows if you're a
<insert current media fear/favourite animal>
It's fascinating what a year or two can mean to
ones personal view of not/okay.
Footnote 1: I guess Mike can let us know whether
he can come alone or (were he my son/daughter)
will have to come with an adult :))
Mike??
Footnote 2: Many years in child protection have
cruelled my chance of a naive and fancy-free view
of the world, others and others perception of me.
