Having just turned 80, I can assure you that you have no corner on the "old curmudgeon" market. As to the "Thunder and Lightening" reference, your review (at that time) showed your apparent lack of understanding of the title. I admit to being rather protective of that particular story, since I identify to some extent with the principal character. Anyway, finally got that off my chest.
