Haha sorry if I've kept some people from posting.

Anyway, from my experience the kind of parents that feel the need to control their children's time on the PC also tend to be the kind that like to keep them locked up and nice and safe in the house.

As I got older, I was allowed more time on my PC, but they were still too strict about actually doing anything outside. So by the time I was about 17 I could play my PC all day though it was such a fuss seing a friend and usually ended in such humilitation that I basically gave up and decided it would be easier to be reclusive.

So, I'm a bit like you holybandit, in that I have absolutedly no social skills (which is making it impossible for me to get a job), and I'm pretty pale looking (although most gingernuts in Scotland tend to be anyway).
