Dear Dr. Paula I wonder if you could help me with my problem child. He is such a sweet lad really but he does seem to hang out with the wrong crowd. Only the other day I caught him reading Toaderpunks whilst laughing maniacly. Is there anything I can do? I have tried the normal things, like getting him an AOL account, but it isn't working! I haven't been able to tell a soul about this, but since you claim not to judge, I thought you'd understand. Those damn Toaderpunks! If you ask me they should all be shot. I wasn't prying, but I read some of my sons e-mail the other day. That's when I found out about the Toaderpunks. They are all so rude. Why, I read one post from a nice AOL guy, asking about some stickers for his favorite "Rock 'n' Roll" band and they weren't helpful at all! In fact, they were down right rude! Oh and the language they use! It's all f*** this and f*** that -- if only their Mothers could hear them. I was trying to help my son by stopping his subscription to Toaderpunks, so I sent a message to the command address. Since this may be useful to you, I'll tell you what to do (there must be millions of poor kids in the Toaderpunks trap) send an electronic message to: cypherpunks@toad.com and in the body write GET ME OFF Whilst this didn't end my sons Toaderpunk subscription, a very well hung young man named Tim May visited me and "got me off" in the most spectacular way. Gosh, I'm getting wet just thinking about that boy! Anyway Doctor, I am sure you understand about those kind of things and I am getting a little off my original question. As I said, I am sure that information will help you help a lot of others. What do I do about my son? Thanks in advance. Missy
