	No, how 'bout I be honest with you. You statement to my
mind is just a bunch of jumbled, confused foolishnish. You
"select" the potential age of a young reader as "13". Gee,
that's real ass-tute of you. The issue being debated is not the
relative age of 13, but the relative age of 7 or 8. So get a
clue mr. know-it-all. My niece and nephew are currently
visiting and they've been looking at my CGW mags for days now;
ages: 8 and 10. Obviously I allow them to read the mag, but I
would prefer that the sex-ads not be present, as they are
mostly gratuitous B.S. in relation to computer gaming. 

	Oh, by the way, I'd rather be a tight-ass than a
dumb-ass. 

	Unimpressed by your babble,
