http://www.jasonrobertbrown.com/weblog/2010/06/fighting_with_teenagers_a_copy.php
The broad majority of people I wrote to actually wrote back fairly

trade.” I figured that was a pretty good result, but I did find it odd –
why list the material at all if you're not going to trade it?
—A great real-world example of the issues facing young mindsets.
