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, Patrick K.
