Longevity is due some respect but is not necessarily an indicator of
knowledge, training, study, or experience. Technology rapidly changes. No
one can be an expert in all areas. In this forum, it is primarily
knowledge and experience with PMMail. IMO, patronizing involves prior
knowledge. The statement was made prior to disclosure of your background.
I would not have viewed it as patronizing unless it was made after
disclosure. I hope the statement about seniority was in  reference to age
since there was no disclosure of  knowledge or experience with PMMail.
