Old School vs New School IMO
[QUOTE=Wleakr;6896982]Myself and several others have typed out dollar amounts plenty of times. You can even leave out the dollar sign symbol and you still understand whether it's 150 or $150.
But old school at some point decided doing "dreams" and "roses" and use periods and dollar symbols to spell out amounts paid. My guess to "hide" from LE but it's just silly doing that today.[/QUOTE]It would make sense, since the majority of clients are 40+ years old. They just have a different way of talking and no offense to the older guys here; but it makes sense that they would keep up with the old ways no matter how silly it may seem. The younger folks (25-35) just move differently. It's just two generations of clients operating at the same time.
Even on TER, I sometimes laugh out loud when I read some of these reviews from the older guys versus the younger guys.
Yeah I think we generally agree
[QUOTE=RogerOver;6899418]Based on your example, I'd fall into the "older guys" bucket. I think it just comes down to people who understand it's dumb to use code phrases vs those of us who don't. No offense to the younger guys, but they really seem to be the ones who ask all the questions that could be answered with a simple search.[/QUOTE]Yeah, same thing with the younger folks generally. The lack of effort to find a simple answer can be frustrating. For example, when LK was password protected. The amount of people asking for the password over and over was ridiculous. Could simply just text the number via a quick google search or find the answer in the forum.
Could be a bunch of guys new to the game (ie younger guys) or maybe older guys who just don't know how to operate the internet, who truly knows.
Either way, I think we're on the same page that regardless; the older generation and the younger generation are blending more.
When the reality of getting older sets in
It just set in that I used to be able to take a day off and go balls deep at 9 am, 12 noon, and again at 3 pm, and still be back home in time for dinner.
Now even two a days are probably a thing of the past for me.
Oh for younger days. Sigh. Probably a good thing with the money I will save or spend somewhere else.

I hear you! I remember when I could go two rounds at each setting. Long since gone.
