tommy: firstly, your edumacation did not preclude your misspelling of common english words such as 'punctuation'. secondly, i doubt any 17 year old boy should be hanging out with men and women in their 20s on a regular social basis. thirdly, unless you are composing business correspondence or formal social correspondence, acronyms, lower case letters and the rest of the crap you see on a message board, in e-mails and in chat rooms is the norm.

jamflow, most of the negative comments concerning your proposed move are coming from people who don't live in san pedro, and never have, not that it matters much either way. but the sour grapes mentality is prevalent. just disregard it and do as you see fit as long as you are a good citizen and productive member of society either through volunteerism or legal commerce.
