You know how it is when you're twenty: you know everything. Putting up with kids that think because they grew up with computers they are the masters of them is also ridiculous especially if they were born after you started programming software. I just posted that little message more as a courtesy so the folks would know I'm not ignoring them. I also have two blogs and several web sites. That's more than enough. Oh and to top that off YouTube seems to think it is a social network these days.
