- There are persistent reports in the popular media of a "North American
- Man-Boy Love Association" (NAMBLA) whose materials, including some
- kind of a newsletter, are sometimes found among pedophiles' effects.
- If I recall correctly, this came up a year or a year and a half ago
- when a group of such people claimed their right as taxpayers to use
- some facility of the San Francisco Public Library to hold meetings.
- As they say in chess, "?!?"

- Fact or folklore? I don't know, and frankly I don't care to associate
- with the kind of people who *would* know, with the guarded exception of
- the enforcement officials who catch 'em and put 'em in the slammer.
- Sorry, folks. Consenting adults can do what they please, but children
- need protection.
