Heya, Lamerche! The photos are meant to be shared in the cafe over a cup of personal info sweetened with a personal photo. But not on the forum. No, no.
As to the points, you have a point raising this point. To come to the point, i think that points and money are yuck, but the point is that they make the world / site go round!
have a good day! oh, and you�re always free to introduce an ESL topic yourself! give us a challenge!
