Why do I need to prove my age again? Right because a child might get online with a phone or computer and see something bad. I think you should take your own advice: >Stop with the scaremongering.

Bill is donating his money for 2 reasons; taxes and an attempt to make himself look good similar to Rockefeller and Vanderbilt. Microsoft didn't get where it was by playing nice but it is amazing to see how quickly that was forgotten.

Yes, that is why I said that some people frown on it. However, the people that I learned etiquette from taught me to turn the chopsticks around. They were not low class by any means, company owners from Kyoto region.
