Screen names

[the firstborn]

Mods, are we allowed to post screen names for things like ICQ and MSN/Windows Messenger, since they arent on this forum?:confused:

I don't see why not, unless you are underage, and then I would strongly suggest that you carefully consider what you're doing. Just far too many predators who find easy prey online.

*cough* I agree, it's happened before, but it hasn't been that bad yet.
And I'm sure no one from SF/F would THINK of doing that!!

Hey, why doesn't my ICQ number show up on my status?:confused:

[the firstborn]

I wrote the whole number down, but it still doesn't work!! It just goes to 291!:confused: :dummy:

We have over 2000 members, and forum states usually run to 4 times that number of lurkers. I wouldn't trust such information as my 14 year old daughter/son's age or contact information to that many eyes. Ever.

You have a 14 year old child?
You're that old?!
:tongue: :bg:
hehe, sorry!

Old? If his oldest is 14, he's just getting to the point that he actually knows the value of a peaceful household *chuckle* You learn more with that first child than in 12 years of school I think. If his youngest is 14, then he's looking forward to the day when he doesn't have to check in every ten minutes Just look at my parents - they got the kids grown and out of the house and they seem to think they can run off and do things like hop the sailboat to the Virgin Islands whenever they good and well please without having to work around anyone else's schedules. Go figure! :bounce:

In my efforts to figure your ICQ number problem, I added my ICQ number to my account *shudders to think of the implications and will be removing that information _very_ shortly* Mine came through just fine. I would note, however, that on your web site you don't give out your ICQ number. I would suggest the same prudence here.

No. The statement was rhetorical. I have no children.
