Old man? I don't think I resemble that remark.

It seems we've gotten off on the wrong foot. Communication can be
tricky through email. There's no sense in hurling insults at me. I
don't think I did anything to deserve that.

By no means do I feel that anyone is 'unworthy' of using Plan 9 or
gaining 'wisdom' from it. I try to encourage any and all interested in
using, developing, and taking away lessons from it, to do so. I am of
the mind that code speaks louder than endless pontification, and that
reading the source and list archives can answer a lot of questions. In
the case of Plan 9, reading the source is also a joy because it's easy
to follow.

Is that constructive enough for you?
