Just turned 50
And so want many "Happy Birthday young man" comments. No, not really. I was just wondering that, since I'm turned 50, should I stay polite* responding to questions that under a decent moderation regime would never be allowed to appear? Or is it ok to be curmudgeonly, or even... dare I say it... sarcastic?
* You'd be shocked to see what my impolite is... :-o

halfway there my young squire :)
And a well meant happy birthday from me.
Have a pint of your carbonated alcoholic beverage of choice on me.
Cheers!

Haha, I'm tempted to say 'no' just to find out the impolite version (I bet that would get moderated PDQ).
Have a good'n!

If you dont' get Green when you get angry ...... it's ok.
Wait .... in AVG EndGame 2 he is much more polite :=)
It's ok if you reached 50 with joy and happiness.

That did make my wife and I laugh. "Rrrrrhhh" and then picking up a motorbike and gently putting it down again!

Hippo Birdie Two Ewes! Welcome to the over-50 club!
I believe that you receive what you put out in the world. So, if you want to receive curmudgeonly snark, by all means, go ahead!

Inclusion will have to cope with "senile obstinacy", too, so just relax and have fun – and welcome to the club:)

Inclusivity is nothing if it doesn't include grumpy old men.

Happy <belated> Birthday!
Hm, I was not aware there was a minimum age requirement for sarcasm use. It appears I've been in violation of that for years already...
"You do you", as the Millennials say. :)

Happy belated birthday, young man :)
Seriously, Matthew, I enjoy reading your ripostes and I think you are just in the editorial "sweet spot" now!

Merry Birthmas to you, Mr. Rechnungsschinken!
> should I stay polite* responding to questions that under a decent moderation regime would never be allowed to appear?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'd really love to see you in action once more with a freshly loaded Guest-O-Blaster. Bring JB and Thomas as well. We could call the movie "The last Gurus on SCN".

Happy late Birthday! Well I say your very, very, young. (I just turned 50 June 25th)
You still have to play nice - at least that's what I've been told. My new attitude is that of a race car driver "It is what it is".
Enjoy!

I'm gonna put it on a plaque in the office. That's pretty much the perfect answer to any SAP questions. :)

Happy belated birfday (as we say in Philly), Michelle! I'm turning 50 myself this year...just in time for TechEd. Looks like I'm in a good company. :)

Belated wishes dear Matthew Billingham and happy that still you are thinking of doing service to SCN as like me. Of course, I already crossed 50 :-)
