The general process for someone is to lurk in the shadows for a few months prior to making a post so that they get a feel for the surroundings. You know that some guys are going to be sarcastic and take a quick shot when they can. I recognize that I'm no spring chicken either, and anyone can take a shot at me any time. It's part of the learning process.
I'm more than happy to take a shot when I post an opinion or after I've delivered my own shot. However, if I or anyone else simply asks for help on a rules question, I don't think proper decorum calls for condescending responses.
Now if I respond to Ds and in the process of explaining a rule I say something like "Bigump got a mail order physics degree" then I expect to take a shot or two from him and the rest of the mail order degree recipients.
And I also think most of us know the difference between condescension and just having fun.
