It is just about everyday that I see this "inexperience" and frankly, it can be frustrating for us "experienced" riders to explain why the old stuff existed in the first place. I don't read sarcasm in the old man's comment, I read impatience which is a quality generally ascribed to younger riders. The old man is a lot closer to being like the non-old men but your comment suggests that it is the differences in age that make what he wrote funny. Not so.
Nope, I said "Old man comment of the day." You made up the rest.
