Well, I know I didn't use the term "old geezer".  Perhaps you've flown
past mature and are now (how shall I put this) "rancid"?

Maturity also tends to connote a way with handling situations where
someone needs to be sent to the devil, but in doing so he'll thank you
for the directions.

That said, after reading some of the political rantings, perhaps even
some of the more mature on this list should re-read and think about
whether they want to go out of their way to push other people's
buttons (or at least not push the "jerk" button so hard).

Ciao,
