I reckon it boils down to this: Folks live to be around 75 years old, then kick the bucket. Now, that number "75" kinda naturally lends itself to a three-way split, if you catch my drift, at 25 and 50. That means: until you hit 25, you're still young, and once you hit 50, you're old. When you hit the big 5-0, you're starin' down the barrel of the last leg of this here life journey, the pre-mortal phase, if you will. This is your last hurrah, your final shot at checkin' off all those items on your bucket list - you know, like finally gettin' around to setting up your very own Usenet server, if that's what's been ticklin' your fancy all these years. Now, I know what you're thinkin' - "But Stefan, I'm no spring chicken anymore, how the heck am I supposed to pull off some high-tech Usenet shenanigans at this stage of the game?" Well, let me tell you, age ain't nothin' but a number, my friend. If the fire's still burnin' in your belly, you gotta seize the day and make it happen, no matter how long in the tooth you might be. So, what are you waitin' for? Quit yer bellyachin' and get to work on that Usenet server, before the ol' ticker gives out and you miss your chance to cross it off the list. Time's a-wastin', and you ain't gettin' any younger, ya hear? Now, let me circle back to that last message I sent in this here discussion thread: I was just tryin' to paint a picture of what I reckon the young'uns these days think about the Usenet, not spoutin' off my own two cents, 'cause shoot, I ain't no spring chicken myself anymore.
