Much younger?  This is always such a curiosity to me.  I am, of course, 
younger than you, but only by about six years.  Is that 'much' younger?

A curiostiy, I say, because when I joined this list, I don't know something 
like thirteen or fourteen years ago, such work was for 'young' men like me, 
not 
for those five or ten years older.  And in fact I heard that when I was in my 
thirties and twenties as well.  I have watched the time when one should step 
aside and leave the work to younger men recede all along to always be just a 
few years older than I am.
