In response to "I really can't stand it..." by Mel Profit

I just can't think of something similar from a 33 year old.

that's why I think the age is off. There's very very few 33 year olds who 'age' this quick with their skills.

        Natural aging simply *does not* explain going from an near all-star level to below replacement level. - musubi Jun 2, 09:11
