While that is an exaggeration age wise, you're still off base. I read everything you've said, and while I'd like to agree with about 50% of it, I can't even manage that much. Really, I disagree with a lot of what you've said. You're rowing in yesterdays boat, not todays boat. The reflections you see in the water are distorted by the boats ahead of you. I'm sorry to say I disagree about a great deal of what you've said based on my own observations and experiences. That doesn't invalidate your perspective, or mine, but there are differences in what we see. Please try to remember that every time you have to argue against something, that it also means that there is an argument FOR what you disagree with. Some of the things you gave as examples in arguments for your perspective are things I find myself vehemently on the other side of. I was NOT expecting that when I read the things you wrote. It really shook my perspective some to observe this in reflecting on my own experiences and reactions to what you had to say. In fact, I wouldn't be taking the time to write this now if I wasn't deeply surprised by these differences. I think I plugged in enough of my 2 cents worth in my 2 prior forum posts. I'm going to be reflecting on what I can learn from this for weeks to come, and this experience just entered my personal chronicles of what I need to do when considering the basis for others advocacy in arguments. I can date my own use to the 3/60 days as well, before they were very common for example. So I've been kicking the tires on this gear in the various market sectors for awhile myself too. We may disagree, but I will thank you for being able to disagree, and what I'm learning from it.
