even though i am 9 it is usefull ifo for me to learn when i am older thank you ever so much

No problem. Just one thing- what did I say? I've no doubt it was wise and insightful, but I have difficulty keeping up with myself...

Just followed this post back to it's source. I remember now. Learn well youngster, you may one day find yourself tempted to e-mail your life story to a total stranger.

no i won't
i won't be that stupid

I expect by the time you are old enough to have money worthy conning out of you everything will have moved on anyway. By the time your are sixteen people will be demanding your left eye at knife point. That's progress for you.
