-
- >Ahh, a veritable 'young whippersnapper'...'54 for me.
-
- yeah?
-
- so what? you don't expect me to treat you kindly because of your age, do you?
-
- good.
-
- listen, this is alt.peeves, not alt.look.at.my.birth.certificate.
- from the fact that you post it's evident that you've been born;
- and, frankly, i couldn't care less about the time, the location, the
- nationality, or even the species.
-
- what i *do* care about is what you post here. christ, i read this group
- because i want to read *peeves*! if you can cast the pains that come
- with age (or any other subject matter) into interesting, funny,
- provocative prose; go ahead.
-
- if not, well, what the hell do you think you're doing here?
