So sad.

To rephrase - the technical abilities of Farnsworth, the gentle
persuasive manner of Mike Tyson, and...well, just old. Old and tired
- highly trained on a generation of once high-tech equipment that long
ago was sold off as surplus. And to have endured the indignity of
becoming 'surplus' as well. But here, in this forum, a giant - full of
wisdom, and lord over all. Important, once again - and with (probably
for the first time in years) - an audience. Folks to disagree with.
Folks to control. Folks willing to ask for his advice. Folks willing
to submit to his wrath. Power. Vitality. Youth. Importance. Just like
long ago. Just the same!

Sad, old man - it's merely a figment of your own creation, not
reality, not tangible, and can never bring back the past glory of your
career. Or days gone by. But, in here, in the security of this Usenet
group, it feels so real....and so much better than the reality of
advancing age, and the lifestyle changes that they will ultimately
bring.....

Be well, OM

Be well.
