No problems here, hoss.
Please realize that age has nothing to do with anything on a message board, but, when one is there and experiences a topic in person, that person probably has a different perspective and much more insight, into what actually did take place.
That being said, re: age, I loved studying and discussing the Civil War, but, for the record, I don't have any personal experience with the Civil War.

Therein lies one of the major problems with our culture. We dismiss the learned wisdom of our older generations while almost worshiping the naïveté of youth.
Businesses know the value of institutional memory. Without it they would have to endlessly repeat procedures. It makes sense to call upon the experience of older workers in determining the direction of a business. That's why most CEOs are older, I would think.
This logic doesn't translate to our society at large, however. If we had as much respect for the wisdom of older adults as we do for the power most people want to attain, we'd be living in a very different, and better, world.
