Since we are a business forum, we would probably be encouraging illegal dealings or really complex situations -- as mikedee pointed out above -- if the member does not disclose his age and gets into contact without the consent of an adult. So, as much as I would hate to vote to allow teen entrepreneurs, I'd vote against it seeing our specific situation.
