Barely literate (outside of the Matrix) teen. Possible otaku, definite
propeller-head. :)

Is that what you were hoping for? :)

The kind of kid who plays Red Alert until 5am and does well at Math
but not English.

Out of interest, what did everyone think of this?

What *impression* did it give you - 'cos I had a definite
idea in mind when I wrote it, and it suddenly occurred
to me to find out if anyone else got the same feeling that
I was trying to convey when I wrote it...

Oh, and don't get confused about the poster - Paul's doing
most of the time coordination and editing on the Project
Rebirth stuff that he's doing with me at the mo'... ;-)

My post! My post! <grin>

How do you mean, James?

Impression of the poster? Impression of the post itself (style etc.)?

Well, the poster definitely seemed desperate - like the kid he is who's
involved in something big and nasty.

Good work.
