Sorry about that, I was on a slow computer with a sparratic scrolling

everything but your last comments.

where else will I go? for local collectors there's no one else on my level
(that I know or have met)
lugnet is not "alugnet" for adults only, its lugnet, and I don't see any

> Dunno-- how old are you?
12
