I am curious as to the ages of posters here.

[Crick]

I have always suspected that the bulk of posters here are retired and have wondered what the age of a typical poster might be. However, despite it being a rather trivial piece of information, I do not wish anyone to post their actual ages. I would suggest that we elect someone we all trust to this extent, send him our ages and she or he can return the arithmetic average and standard deviation of what he receives over some set period of time. If no one objects, he could simply return the list of ages without names attached. I have not asked him in advance, but I would suggest poster Toddsterpatriot for this task if he was willing.

Any thoughts? Todd? Other names?

I've been around long enough to know "climate change" BS/grift when I see it.

You people act like nobody here was alive 60+ years ago.

I was.

Me, too.

Middle age.

Brain and body when healthy, still in my 20s.

When unhealthy, feel like a zombie even if I look younger than my age.

Most posters are Old Farts

Greater than 50, less than 60.

A poll would have been good.

 

[Mr Natural]

Greater than 60, less than 80.

 

[DGS49]

Remember that there are three different definitions of "average." I suspect the largest category is retired people, but I'm not sure how relevant that is.

I am curious as to the ages of posters here.​

Many are between 17 and 23 but the majority of those are on my ignore list.

 

[lg325]

65 here feel like 25 though.

I am old enough to remember the day Kennedy was shot.


and astute enough to realize that not one single democrat would support a man like him were he running for office today.

It's not the age that is the problem here.
What makes he place so crappy is the lack of moderation.
This place wants page views (and $'s) to the exclusion of everything else.

These (80% RW) rejects from other boards land here because they can Bash "Libs" and high-five each other with impunity/Not content.
You can post pure insults and one-word/line harassment except perhaps having 1/1% of them removed if reported... but come back the next day and do it again.. for YEARS.
There are No days off for repeat offenders, No thread bans, and No section bans.

Truly mentally disturbed people like EMH get thrown off every board.. but here he's just prolific and popular lunatic who generates lots of page views.

Also, and crucially, there is No real block-poster function as on, ie, FB. Not only won't the mods protect you, one can't do it for one's self. You can only Blind yourself while getting mocked and funny feedbacks from the person who is harassing/Trolling you.
I tried to change this, but despite some minor support Flacalteen was not about to cut 20% of the page view$.

That's the problem.

Is there a "problem"?

... so we all win.

Me too. I was stationed in Korea. They woke us up around 4 a.m. to inform us that the 'commander-in-chief' had been assassinated. That is the only significant event that I remember exactly where I was and what my reaction was.

 

[Woodznutz]

I'm old enough to have seen and experienced the sea change in the social order that began in the 1960's. My favorite decade was the 1950's, but I'm really a 1940's guy, having witnessed both the fear of the wars in Europe and the Pacific and the jubilation of victory and the ascension of America as the dominant world power.

 

[hjmick]

Too bad this board doesn't have some way to post a poll where people could select there age range within, say... five years... one could make the poll anonymous so that those participating wouldn't have there name associated with the age range selected...


Yeah, that's definitely too bad...

In bed? I was in class. 6th grade I think it was.

I'm usually in bed at 4 a.m., wherever I am.

I am up at 4 AM wherever I am. Maybe it was the 4 AM wake up in basic training that did it.
