I was gonna say "I!" but it's more like since 2000.

When i still paid much attention to the list, i.e. before the devs
decided to fork themselves into IRC, i always liked reading stuff
written by "greybeards". I have heard that term before applied to
people like Stallman (well he's not really the best example, but) and
to me it has always meant Old Wise Person. So i like reading Mr
Bloom's posts. I was unaware the same term can have a derrogatory
meaning (english not being my native language) and to those who use it
as such i can only point them to this example:

http://blog.pluralsight.com/give-me-those-old-time-programmers

which illustrates that people and tech may be old, but they're
certainly not antique.

Shouldn't this be OT?

Cheers,
Nuno
