It's not a matter of lack of respect for older people, Victor, it's that one can be ultra-prudish at any age, and it's the inherent prudishness of your objections to informative ads that people here are commenting on. After all, the appellation "Victor in Mapperton" doesn't specify your age, so as far as anyone here knows, you could be no older than fourteen.

Hell's bells, Victor, I doubt very seriously that you are any older than I am, and frankly, I think your objections belong back in the Victorian age, when some folks were so up-tight about matters of human reproduction that they put skirts on pianos so their legs—excuse me, "limbs"—wouldn't show.

How old am I? When the Big Bang occurred, I'm the one who said, "What the hell was THAT!??"
