Thanks for the compliment.  It's nice to know that at least a few people
don't think that all teenagers are naive, self-centered, hooligans.  As for
the original post, I didn't have a problem with it.  I think it would be
very hypocritical for any parent to.  Part of giving your child their own
e-mail account means trusting them to deal with subjects that might come up.
If you don't think they can handle mature discussion, don't let them get
e-mail that you don't read first.  They're going to have to be exposed to
the world at some point... it might as well be from a group of caring,
experienced, adults.  I didn't think Trisha was endorsing anal and oral sex,
just relating some of the difficulties she'd had in the dating world.  Isn't
this list all about sharing experiences?
