    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.

    Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

      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.

          I am all in favor of scaring off all the "PLZ HLP RGNT"'s but are you really sure that bad programming that genetically linked? Would it be a good idea for Chris to segregate them into their own forum the way he did folks who talk about American politics?
