I pretty sure that is word for word what I said last time we did this poll.

At just under 40, I for once feel youthful.

I laughed at this 20 years ago. Now I'm one of the old guys. (60)

57 and as mature as I need to be for the task at hand!

73 and if I knew I would live this long, I would have taken better care of myself.

I’m still in my 30s for a little over a year. I’m sure 40 won’t be too bad.

Physically 70 but the jury is still out on mentally

Old enough to know better, young enough to (sometimes) not care...

Never under estimate the power of birthdays evenly divisible by 10

I've had a few.

I'm 43 & a girl. I don't know how to do a poll, but I wonder how many females are on here & their ages.

35. Or I’m 29 for the 6th year in a row. It depends on the time of day or how drunk I am.

At the top tool bar hit New > Poll. Then fill out the options. I’d be curious to see the results. It seems like the number of women is increasing, which is a very good thing.

It means women’s tolerance levels are increasing.

I wonder too, but I'm smart enough to know that a man should never ask a woman how old she is.

31 years old here, for a couple more months. Being one of the long time youngsters, I often think about what SF will be like in 20, 30, 40 years... if I make it that long.

I'd be surprised if 28 is the youngest. Hopefully a lot of people respond to the poll. This thread pops up from time to time and I always find in interesting.

Same here! I registered after I saw my first Sig at a gunshop while shopping for my 21st birthday present to myself.

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford, "it is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards."
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."

It's weird that we have only one twenty-something based on the poll so far.

Otherwise, we are at 474 votes right now and the curve has held pretty consistent for the last 180-200 or so votes. The percentages have not varied much since then, so I am guessing we are pretty close to an accurate picture on the age ranges.

Ya I imagine the percentages pretty accurately depict the age ranges. It is kind of weird we are only up to 2 in the 20's. Seems we've had a few that started at 20, so I imagine there are a few new guys that are very young, maybe they just haven't voted.

We just added 3 more votes total since I posted above, but the 20's had a 100% increase!
