Oh, I did check my other in-box and got your message. I have most of the things there turned off just so I'm not inundated with a lot of garbage, and my primary email has a filter on it that limits attachments and I make good use of my spam filters, so with that younger person emailing you, I'd probably give serious thought to disabling some of those features, too (hence my responding here rather than there). I think that there is a filter that prevents someone writing to or viewing parts of the site under a certain age. I just keep mine private and use it as a very low-key means of advertising for people I respect more than anything else. I also use it, on occasion, as a sounding board for myself for my own thoughts, sometimes with some input from others. I'm not big on the whole networking thing nowadays, but, as with you, I see someone I find cool or intriguing, I'll put out my hand--you never know, it might wind up being helpful. But what you said struck a chord with me because of a certain younger family member of mine with a growing interest in, first tattoos, and second, asking why someone would want to take their clothes off. I know its not something I'm encouraging (way too young for those sorts of questions!), and I think I figured out where they're coming from (the boyfriend of a friend's mother), which made me check the Washoe Sheriff's website for offenders in the area (again--Brianna Dennison was found just blocks from here--I still have a blue ribbon on my front door). Sum total, just be careful, and shut down parts where and when you need to, not only to protect yourself but also protect others, such as that younger admirer of yours. Cheers, and have a nice day!
