I myself am 19 (and know lots of friends who are young as 15 trying for their MCSE) I am familiar with a number of development languages, Visual Basic and Active Server Pages are my main focus on the job, but I am also familiar with almost all the Visual basic versions (yes even the VB-DOS) , also with C++, both Microsoft and Borland based, and I am aquainted with least a few other languages, I normally post all the languages I am confortable with at the bottom of my signatures when posting over at tektips. A Fellow "Programmer" states :

"kb you can't seriously only be 19?! You know all those languages? Parlez-vous francais?

I explained how over the past 5 or 6 years I "messed" with languages throughout highschool , and had some AP courses on C++ duriong my senior year as well as furthering my knowledge in my current job, yet he replies.

"oh so like I've messed with a blonde, burnette, and redhead, and like means I have no understanding of women"

I had his post redflaged since they wernt relevent to the post where I was helping someone with a problem, but I wonder why most people will doubt the abilities based on your age, I belive now in the 90s( and first year of this new century) that the internet had played a very powerful role in my progress, and dont ask where I got the tools to experiement with (you already know) to me he seems to be old of those old coders who doubht anyone can become familiar with anything computer-wise in such short periods of time, anyone care to comment on the issue?

PS: I have no idea what he was trying to say about his last reply.
