RE: No Munchkin Zone

Ahhh. Another cultural difference. Munchkin is slang in US (at least my
area) for anyone under the age of 16 (usually refers to a pre-teen or
younger). 

I was also aware of the mini-maxer conitation. But was afraid that the
broader sense may have been intended in the statement. I am glad to see
that
it is not.
