Well, I have made several observations in your reply. First your attempt
to dodge a loaded question is admirable but the positives you have listed
are all vulnerable as well. A youngling who writes an intelligent post can
be accused of acquiring assistance, if you are of equal or greater age
then you would have agreed with me long ago, refusing to answer is as good
as admitting guilt. This is not court by the way so don't bother quote
laws. Bottom line is the answer I will respect is an honest one and as I
have already made up my mind as to your rough age I would like to
compliment you on your relative maturity. I won't point out that you
forgot to use a spell checker and that some of your words are missing
spaces.

Now to your question, meant to throw me off track. Do I care? Hmmm, well
yes I do. Otherwise I would not have asked. You see your answer gives me
fuel to fire my side of the argument. Thus I do care to hear you answer
because it is to my benefit in proving that the young will never outthink
the old.

Thanks for not answering. It gave me the opportunity to answer for you.
