There were a group of board owners, and we knew pretty much everyone through another friend on the board. Everyone advertiseed on other boards. The minor in question was a younger sister or relative of another mem ber, and tried to act more grown up than she was. She thought because she was anonymous that she could be a little flirty and raunchy. If I didn't know she was someone's little sister or cousin, I would think she was a police bait account scouting out guests to appear on "to catch a predator." --- þ Synchronet þ The Cave BBS - Since 1992 - cavebbs.homeip.net .
