I'd be flattered if someone got my name and age and actually spent hours tracking me
down and finding out where I live, eliminating all the other possibilities. Then getting on a plane for 5 or so hours to come break into my house with a screwdriver to hide in my wardrobe for a further 12 hours waiting for me to come home from work and then go to bed so that when I fall asleep they can burst out and stab me 21 times. Very flattered indeed. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If I accomplished this mission you've set, you'd pay me lots of beer bottles and a thick 5000-page English-Spanish dictionary then?....hehehe 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yeah, I'm quite sure people won't find out anything about you when you post your age on a forum about languages...
