well after reading this post its no shock that you have been on the site over 230 days and your karma is 10.
Honestly, I know what you are getting at but I think what you miss is that some of the greatest minds in tech made the most impact before 30, and lots of good businessmen and entrepreneurs younger than 30 make it every year.
I speak with some bias because of my age, but just because people are under a certain threshold do not underestimate the value they can bring to a conversation or product.
It's not always about how old you are or how much money you've made (though if you'd like to get in that pissing match I'd welcome you in my case) In truth, just about everyone can bring value to a conversation if you listen with an open mind and take no word as the gospel you will come away much better for it.
All this was basically to say if you are not happy with advice from certain groups of people don't accept it, but I for one am glad people decided to listen to guys like Woz, Jobs and Gates well before 30. Without those open minds the world would probably be an entirely different place. And not for the better
