You are far from being the oldest person on here. Perhaps you need a better optometrist or ophthamologist.

Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Maybe so, as I didn't notice leaving off an "o" in too old.

Every semester I debate whether I can show this video "Why Am I Failing English" to my class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPtzDX0Xndw

Edit: And revenge on us old people. :lol: "Why Your Server Hates You Old People" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOJRF7w1ms8

Yesterday at Purdue I have a student who showed up as everyone was exiting the classroom. She showed me her schedule, and I confirmed that she was in my class. She claimed she couldn't find the room. OK. I point out the first homework assignment is still on the board and urge her to read her email announcements and the syllabus. Later that day, she sends me an email apology for missing class and asks me what is the textbook for the course. I just tell her, again, to read the syllabus, which contains this information along with the grading scale and assignments. Ever hear the expression "helicopter parents"? More and more we seem to get students who want someone else to do everything for them.

Student: I should take notes?! No, put them online for me, please! Better yet, make a video so I don't have to read anything. :lol:
