i would have related to this back when i was fourteen, maybe fifteen.

i disagree. i related to this now, i think, and i am older than fourteen or fifteen (i am twenty-six). i thought this was a funny, interesting and insightful article.

you are defeated.

are you disagreeing with the idea of him relating to something in the past? were those comments from the same person? I dont comment on internet things usually, this week has been a big exception. You all probably still live in Seattle. That must be nice.

i like.

hi peter,

i was disagreeing with the implied disapproval expressed by the commenter before me -- that s/he would have related to this back when they were a teenager, but not now. i disagreed with that because i thought this article was/is something that i related with now, today, as someone who was not a teenager.

i live in nyc, not seattle. it is nice, though. sorry you had to move
