Age isn't the problem, I've seen 16 year olds who can do this shit better than anyone else I know (and I know more than a couple).
Maturity and respect does matter, however. And how you portray yourself in public is fairly indicitive as to how you are going to treat your customers and run your business.
Just food for thought, everyone learns this lesson sooner or later I suppose. It's just some appear to need to stick their foot in their mouth multiple times in the process.
Ramm, stop being a little prick and actually listen to these guys. They ARE your future customers, and they will pay your uplink bills and put food on your plate. Treat them like gold, and their sites like fucking platinum and you'll be very well off. Start spouting the arrogant prick teenager attitude you're doing now, and you won't amount to shit.
Oh well, some people learn their lessons the hard way.
