What's to "promote," senior?

I like how you picked up on his condescending use of the age reference...

I remember on the local VHF frequencies once I got in an argument on the
air about (guess what???) cw testing... and the fellow I was arguing with
(oviously several years my elder) tried to belittle and detract from the
factual approach of my argument by referring to me as "young man"....
you know, "let me tell you what, YOUNG MAN, ...... etc etc..."

so I had the PERFECT come back. I told him "okay, we'll end the
debate right here; you are judging the accuracy of the debate and,
thus, who wins, solely on who's older, not who's more correct. I'll
go find my friend [not included here for discreetness], who just
celebrated his 82'nd birthday; i'll let him talk on my behalf and just
feed him the lines to say, and since he's OLDER than YOU, that
means i'm automatically right, even if he, vicariously through me,
claims the moon is made out of green cheese, right?"

as I recall, not too much was said after that.

it's so easy.
