Reply To: I know it's not the type to ask, but how was?

Raising the generation was not mentioned as a cause for complaint.

However, I assumed that the saying whose quotation I was responding to is meant to imply that it is often those who raised the generation who complain about it, to which I responded that that was not the case here.

(The smiley was to indicate awareness that the one quoting the saying did not actually mean to imply that it was the case here.)
