I know, I know, some of you have requested an end to this thread.  I just
want to point out (again) that ADA really doesn't apply in a case like
this--unless of course ADA rules define having an active child as
constituting a handicap.  The rationales for restricting strollers in public
places have been amply explained, whether anyone thinks they're justified or
not.
