And at least one short order cook who is a programmer wannabe. And all those students in India and a few other places trying to get a free ride on their homework. :| Oh, and am I a professional anymore? I don't code for a living. I'm retired.

I think not, it's to allow us to read 'safely' at work. So why can't we talk about the frogging weather? I'm BRITISH, I have to talk about the weather. It's like Red Necks and [deleted] or australians and sheep.

And why should your kid sister be any more special than my kid brother? Well, he doesn't exist but that's not the point. It's a sexist, stupid rule.

That's too damn much text to go through. I'm not a lawyer. :( I hope I get a warning, should I step over the line...

I am an Accountant. I just happen to write related software for personal/company use. Although I am 'The Tech Guy' at work I am employed as accounant! There are many unemployed people here too, and students, should they be banned? Or, as we mostly seem to be wise enough adults, (sorry Ravel, about the adult, not the wise bit), is it the Spirit of the law that we need to address. I have asked questions on programming fora, and have, so some small degree, assisted in answering some questions I have seen there. I feel that qualifies as much as being the likes of #1 or CG or Pete O or the JSOP.

Heh. Age has a nasty way of sneaking up on you. I got blindsided 2 years ago at 25 when my baby brother graduated high school.

I was blindsided a couple of years ago when my baby sister retired from being the head of the English department at the local highschool. . . :laugh:

Well, that tells me that the "kid sister rule" is not only pointless, but rendered completely moot - on all forums. It also disallows any discussions/references/jokes/satire regarding race, religion, politics, national origin, sexual orientation, physical handicap, hair color, or the weather. I guess all they want us talking about here is programming. That means that fully 95 percent of the Indian programmers shouldn't even have an account here (and the remaining 5% is a highly generous assumption).

It's an estimate. I realize that I low-balled it, but I'm all for giving some of them a chance to prove they deserve to stay.

First, it's "redneck" - a single word. Second, sheep are for sissies in San Franciso. In the south, it's pigs, deer, bear, and immediate family members.
