I told you there would be older ...Nicely put, Dave. I told you there would be older smiths that would challenge you. It happened to me and it is happening to Alec Steele who is even younger than you. There is no need to "defend" your position. The proof or evidence is there to be seen. Some people, especially men get stuck in what they know or understand through their experience. If they never try or experience new things, they will never learn more than they know at that moment in their limited experience. Nobody can make them know more. That is up to the individual to teach themself. You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make them drink. Some people are offended by things they do not understand. There is nothing you can do about that, so defending a position is a mute point. Now, if they will stand and take notice of the evidence, they may learn something new. You have already passed those people up, and left them stagnate. I am glad to see you improving and moving forward with your life. You will continue to learn more and more with the more you do, and when things come up that are new to you, you will be able to learn more and grow.
