I guess that makes me an official user of the "In my day act of 1904: "Back in my day, we didn't have computers. We had p-o-c-k-e-t c-a-l-c-u-l-a-t-o-r-s. They were kind of mini computers that you could do siphering with...blah, blah, blah".

Using a century mark in a posting definitely makes you subject to that law.
