As I read this young person reprimanding OP I remembered why I just adore Gen X'ers

When I was young I would jump in too, so I hope you soon learn the lessons I learned and develop the ability to stop, look, and listen. To read one post and then spend four or five paragraphs flaming the person is not a way to win friends or influence people.

Of course, you could have went back and looked at some of their previous 400+ posts and maybe you would have a better survey sample to form an opinion. But they weren't asking you to form an opinion of their psyche and I agree that the tone and manner of the purser came across as rude and unprofessional.
