I was somewhat skeptical when I read the opening sentences on this World Wide Website:
 
"My name is B. J. (Bruce, Jr.) but my friends call me Beege. I am 10 years old and live in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. My dad and I use the Internet to help with homework and to research information on the Net."
