    Ofelix - that's exactly what we'd expect someone who was hormone-fuelled to say.

    Well, the results so far seem to support my original statement.

    What surprises me is that there are 4 in the 39-55 category. Before this, all I was aware of besides myself was Rallymama, who just turned 40, and maybe Rally's husband (who I seem to recall she said was registered but doesn't post). I now know about Cyrano (well, kinda, since he hasn't actually said how old he is). Depending on whether Rally has voted, and assuming her husband hasn't, that leaves at least 1 more. Who is/are he/she/they? C'mon, don't be a lily-livered weenie - 'fess up! :p :D

    Well, if description goes...

    I do have the feeling that I'm frittering away my best years. But then... all power...

    Yes, I guess I'm all about power. The king of the world, sort of.

    At the same time I'm all about responsibility and commitment. Even if there's not really any power. There's always something you can do...

    [​IMG] Five in the 39-55 category. :eek:

    So that makes anywhere from 1-3 members who I don't know about (depending on whether Rallymama and/or her husband have voted). And it increases my chances of being de-throned as the oldest regular poster (assuming the anonymous voter(s) has/have the guts to identify himself/herself/themselves and his/her/their age(s) :p )

    On the other hand, it looks like my claim of being double the average age is still pretty close.

    I too, am stunned by the number in the 'wise, but graying' category. If you find 3 more you will have as many as in your important feeder 'slippery slope' group. Amazing.

    Come forth, you anonymous sages so we can bask in your wisdom and experience!

    [​IMG] Now at six in the 39-55 category.

    And more importantly, we have one in the 56+ group! :)

    But of those who have "gone public", I'm still the oldest. :D

    Wow - a late surge from our more senior members! Now there are 7 people over 38 and 21% are over 29. Splunge now has a few years to go before he can claim to be the elder statesman around here. Who are these mysterious veterans?

    Just entered the slippery slope.

    Two things I found strange:

    8people is in the 12-16 bracket? Are you freaking kidding me? Has (s)he been posting since birth to get over 3,000???

    Chev - 21 in law school. Impressive - I would have guessed somewhat older. Not a lot older mind you, but I would have guessed his age as 23-25.
