"I got my Master's degree, before you were even a gleam in your father's eye, kid."

Just curious -- I've counted three references you've made regarding age to other FReepers, including myself...Allow me to pose the following questions:

A) Why is a FReeper's age germaine to any issue?

B) Why should younger FReepers assume older FReepers opinions are any more valid , especially taking into consideration their advanced age and faltering memory?

C) Why do I envision you appearing as Bette Davis in 'Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?'? :-D

When someone, who is still in school, and talks about his " intellectual heft " and his superior knowledge, it is quite germain, to bring up that person's age. They are assumiming, erroniously, that only THEY have an education, and that they know far more ( which could possibly be true, but isn't usually the case ) than the person they are responding to.

Younger FREEPERS usually, though not always, have less valid opinions, than older FREEPERS do, for any number of reasons; not the least of which, is that they know far less and have yet to have enough real life experiences, upon which to base their opinions on.

I haven't stooped to the childish snipings and gutter level invectives, which you and others have gotten into. You are not clever, witty, funny, nor original; only pathetic and juvenile. Your assumptions about me, and everything else, are incorrect. Neither are you capable of doing simple math. Think about that and perchance, you may be able to figure out what I mean by that. LOL
