Well, hello, Haney! You never know who you'll stumble across out here in
cyberspace, do you??? Welcome to Scouts-L! There are all sorts of
interesting discussions going on here much of the time!

Haney, to be honest, as I'm sure Jim, Bart, and others may have told you,
your biggest challenge in the transition will be getting the other
adults, especially those in power, who knew you when you were 14 and
still see you that way, to take you seriously. Jim and Bart complain
bitterly about this still, and Bart must be approaching 30! Anyway, just
work around the ones who blow you off and take consolation from the fact
that there are also a lot of us oldies who are rather pleased with the
fine adult you've made and are ready to relate as such!

Oh, yea, it had to come to this patch trading stuff didn't it! Hah!
Careful though, as I'm sure you'll read here some have had problems with
trading via this medium...
