(I'm >not going to hold my breath, but you never know). This is interesting...I've seen some postulation about his age, but never anything firm. I kind of doubt that he is this young...his language patterns don't seem to be those of a twelve year old. It's obvious that he has some psychological problems, but that doesn't excuse he behaviour. And, to me, neither does his age (whatever that is). I would be interested (almost acedemically...I used to be a social worker, and worked with mentally ill clients for several years) to find out exactly what his problems are. I do hope he gets help, but in the mean time, I'm not real keen on dealing with his abusiveness. Chris Dorr
