Apology accepted! 
. Now tell the rest of your tribe that silence is okay. In fact us geezers have an axiom from way back, "silence is golden." It's actually easier and safer to do the job when paying attention and not missing every atc call for incessant banal chit chat.
In return, Gen X'ers like myself and the even more ancient Boomers will try not to snore in cruise.

I don't have a problem with millenials. I just wish they had learned along the way that ever second of silence doesn't need to be filled with their incessant yammering. Or perhaps their Ritalin dosage should be incrased.

Nah, I don't think I will. The major advancements of the internet and the devices we all utilize it on are primarily the result of work done by the Boomers.
