Okay... well... I rarely reply to threads in this forum. And I've never posted my own thread before in this forum.

But enough is that I could certainly relate. I hope there are some other grumpy old men who will enjoy reading it too, as well as some not-yet-grumpy younger guys who will see where they could be heading (& will avoid going there.) Here's a link to the article:
