Road Clam, do not succumb to the siren song of consensus: become at one with your inner skeptic: embrace the contrarian!
Try several methods and do what works for you.
Then practice the sayings that all good curmudgeons use:
"Back in the day..." (always popular, and usually appropriate)
"When I was your age..." (implying that anyone under the age of a hundred and two is a drooling *****)
"Well, I always heard that..." (Implying that you hear things, as in, you're tapped into some secret font of knowledge unavailable to mere mortals)
then, try to develop "the look" this is amazingly similar to the look given by twelve year olds to their hopelessly inept, completely oblivious and utterly beyond- help parents when confronted with anything more technologically advanced than an abacus... takes practice, but the effect is well worth the effort.
