Farewell from Christopher Johnson
I've decided it's best for me to leave AUE, as I just can't stand some of the things that are being written about me, particularly in the "My fellow Americans" thread, at the moment. I bared my soul in that story I told, and all it achieved was to intensify the debate about whether or not I am who I say I am.
Mike (Barnes): please remove my picture (etc.) from the AUE website immediately. Thanks.
I hate long goodbyes, so I'm outa here. Thanks to those of you who became my friends while I was around. There's some really great people on AUE, and I wish everybody all the very best.

Oh! It's true! USians don't understa

[nq:1]Because this is the one with which I am most familiar, the one in which I was posting the message and the one in which I have most often encountered content which, in my opinion, could be judged unsuitable for a fourteen year old. YMMV.[/nq]
If a 14 year-old has the intellectual capacity of a forty year-old, why should it be unsuitable?
