There is a difference between "picking on children" and giving them the attention that they ask for.
I find it amusing when they run around waving their arm screaming "look at me...look at me" then cry when you do.
Remember kids be careful what you wish for...you just might get it.
Keep in mind though, some legitimately nice kids with some honest questions get bashed around for no reason other than some old sack of air has a stick up his rear about the existance of a younger generation. I will agree, there are times kids even my age get incredibly annoying. If the response is warranted, by all means go for it. I would cite Valerio as an example of this. However, if you get someone coming to you for sincere help via appropriate channels (Not trying to spam you in the MA with questions) and your immidiate response is to tell them where to shove it, then you truly are a low person.
Note: The abvoe was not necesarilly directed at you Bronk. You've made a few digs at me, but theyre always good spirited, and you have always treated me well, something I have learned to really appreciate on these forums.
