Bah, nonsense. Re-read my post. I wasn't skeptical because of his age, it was because he looked like a dull guy with a dull CV at first glance. I introduced him as "the guy over 40" in the first paragraph, which makes sense given the subject at hand. And it is why you can take a line of my post out of context and make me seem like an asshole for writing "When hiring, I was very skeptical of the guy over 40".

Are we so far now that we have to think about formulating our HN comments so that someone can't take parts out of context? Lovely.
