Age is irrelevant when quantifying competence or skill nor should it be
(you'd feel peeved I should imagine if somebody referred to you
similarly because you first installed Linux from a floppy).

If you feel the rest of the arguments he made in his post are somehow
wrong & feel you could enlighten him & help the whole community out as
well, I'm sure he would be only too delighted to benefit from your years
of experience.
