- I find this very insulting, I am a 14 year old (not a kid). I learned
- BASIC, before I was in school, learned Logo in first grade, and am now
- very proficent C++. I am not lazy, I am not a dork, and I do not see many
- other teenage programmers that would fit either of thes descriptions, and
- I don't appreciate people who resort to name calling just to prove a
- point.
