Good thread, all these emails are a good start to perhaps repairing our badly tarnished public image. I tend to agree with KV2R34GT as well. If we want to change something, the power is somewhat in our hands (although certainly not completely).
I have had a couple of coppers, after having seen my age on my license and I guess general maturity level say similar things to me... I thought you were a hoon, how boring, have a good night... sort of thing. In fact, I think joeyjoejoe may have had exactly that said to him.
Pretty amusing at the time.
