There's ageism too. I find it very weird that people immediately assume that just because somebody is over 35 that they'll be less technically literate than somebody in their 20's (especially as I'm acquiring grey hairs at a steady rate :-)
A few years back I hired a very clever guy to do tech support for the company I worked for at the time. Very clever guy - and a serious Linux geek. Much more knowledgeable in that area than myself. Yet several people assumed that he was less technically literate than I was just because he was twenty odd years my senior. Scary.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
