And *everyone* here makes fun of my toes. That's all I hear- "hairytoes" this and "hairytoes" that. It hurts.

Actually, IG, this is one of the reasons I never revealed my age before. (Now that I think about it, I still haven't. I could have flunked third grade 30 times. Maybe I'm really YOUR age. Or I could be another Doogie Houser. Maybe I'm 10.) I didn't want to be classified as "mature for my age", "intelligent for my age", "hairy for my age" etc.

While I realize that a lot of the posters on the Fox boards are kids with free reign over their internet access and their first taste of anonymity (read: chance to be a jackass), the lack of restraint and good judgement is possible at any age. One thing I saw over there that bothered me was a bunch of kids posting *how old they were*!!! Thirteen year-olds posting their age to the whole board! Anyway, other than situations like that, age isn't really an issue, is it?
