With the most abject apologies to the general counsel
of the Wikimedia Foundation, but this very vividly brings
to mind my own recollections of Mike Godwin of Usenet of
late 1980's to early 1990's. Conversing with him now, some
20 or so years later, was a revelation on how we each progress.

In a more philosophical vein, this to me indicates that no
man is immune to the mellowing affects of years, but the
pathologically unageable who have fixated onto a certain
phase of development.
