Indeed it is... and you failed.

As Ben pointed out, I was replying to the second paragraph of Andy's post.

In the third para, which you are talking about, Andy and his kid had no problem when the boy was thirteen (provided some reasonable precautions were taken). But, more *fundamentally*... there Andy only talks about an anonymous "pressure from behind" -- where the fuck is the guy I was saying "had a point", in *that*?!? Don't try to sign me any signs, bubba -- you just got it wrong; be a man, admit it, and let us all get over it.

Oh, and go to that concert, take your big young son with you, and have fun! :-)

iwethey.org

You're typing on a device that stores trillions of pieces of data and makes billions of computations per second with the ability to grab data on almost anything from around the world in milliseconds, using electricity transmitted from hundreds of kilometers through wires on towers dozens of meters tall connected to megastructures that do things like burn coal as fast as entire trains can pull into the yard, or spin in the wind with blades the size of jumbo jets, or the like, which were delivered to their location by vehicles with computer-timed engines burning a fuel that was pumped up halfway around the world from up to half a dozen kilometers underground and locked into complex strata (through wells drilled by diamond-lined bores that can be remote-control steered as they go), shipped around the world in tankers with volumes the size of large city blocks and the height of apartment complexes, run through complex chemical processes in unimaginable quantities, distributed nationwide and sold to you at a corner store for $1.80 a gallon, which you then pay for with a little piece of microchipped plastic, if not a smartphone, which does all of the aforementioned computer stuff but in a box the size of your hand that tolerates getting beaten up in your pocket all day.

But technology never seems to advance...
