Wow, you sure do love rubbing our noses in it: “Look at me, I’m in my 30’s!” Yeah, we get it, enough already.

Somewhat against one part of this thread, it seems to me that one usually (not always!) knows what the problems in one's papers are. So often all the referee needs to do is say in a sentence what each problem is and push one to deal with it. But of course no need to do that with any hostility!
