Yes, you are the greatest, I absolutely worship you.

You cant tell a padlocks security level by its size, and concerntrate in school, because obviously your stuggling (tecknicks is how you say MY name)

I agree with Technik concentrate in school learn how to spell and leave lock picking untill you get home or in break time (Recess)
Good luck we all start at the begining

Congratulations. Now do it again. Now get two or three more master locks, and do it a couple of times on those, too.

Once you've done that, you'll have the very basic skills, and you'll probably be confident enough in them that you won't have to ask us if you're any good.

Woah Sam. Take a breath or two. There really wasn't any intent here, at least not as far as I can see, to attack you in any way. Congrats on the pick, and good luck in the future. Please take the time to check out the FAQ threads, and the rules if you haven't already. They will help you jump right in here and be a valuable participant.

ok, first off, its called a PERIOD. If i was in a more bored mood, I would edit your post for proper puncuation. But I don't care, so bah.

And if you would use better puncuation, we might take you more seriously. Not to mention, STOP MAKING ALOT OF NEW THREADS.

Bah, I love "I am new threads" Gives me something to delete.

If you don't want us to treat you like a little boy, Sam, then you probably shouldn't put "im only 13" or even "I'm only thirteen" in your first post, and you really ought to learn to type properly. If you get As in all your classes, you should know how to structure a sentence. Compare your post to the following:

"I picked my first lock today. It was a one inch or two inch heavy master padlock, and I was using a flathead screwdriver and a curved paper clip. Does that mean I have any skill? I didn't use any standard techniques to pick it, I was just messing around.

I'm only thirteen, and I did this yesterday in my learning center period in school. Please tell me if this is an accomplishment."

You see how differently you're presented when you write properly? Personally, I wouldn't have bothered to tell people how old you are, or that you're picking locks in school, but even so, do you see how much of a difference proper English makes?

Don't, wasn't, and don't really care to have it.

That said: if you guys are going to flame the new guy, at least try to make it somewhat constructive, eh? He hasn't proved himself a troll or a moron yet, has just proved himself ignorant of the culture here (the part of it that says you don't type like English is your third language unless English really is your third language).
