It's a restriction required to obtain approval from our research  
ethics board -- people under 18 are considered to be minors in Canada  
and thus require the consent of their guardian to participate. Trying  
to obtain such permission for an anonymous survey is a bit difficult!   
Although we could work around this guardian-consent issue in theory,  
doing so would require jumping through several additional hoops in the  
ethics process and would take significantly more time.

Brian.
