I'm probably just as old as he is, and when I say something "screams 1993", it is a compliment. If I was a young kid, I wouldn't remember the <g> symbol, now would I?

"Enjoy your stay" is for people with pre-30 posts and one month here, not years and 1,000+.

I'm sorry if you took it the wrong way, but for the rest of my life, I will always comment on people using the <g> sign. Because I'm ageist? No, because I too am older, and I freaking love that period of when BBS's ruled. The <g> always makes me grin (pun intended), and it's so rare that I get excited when I see it, and can relate to anyone who uses it because they were liking using computers for as long as I have. You know how often I see the <g> sign? Maybe twice in the past 10 years. It's sadly was replaced by lol.

So am I ageist? Maybe a tad, but only against the youth.
