Is there a reason for this or just curiosity?

I am between 21 (legal drinking age, like that matters with shine) and 65.
Does that help?

Good idea, been curious to the age groups here as many I think are older because there very knowledgeable turn out to be 10~15 years younger than me :?

Trying to get an idea if this hobby spans across many different age groups. The simple fact that this poll is placed in the off--topic discussion should help me gather a more accurate data of enthusiasts rather than loaded down with 18-25's trying to get rich quick.

Compared to some I'm pretty young. Now to others I'm pretty old. As far as how I feel, I'm older than dirt. Yeah that sums it up nicely. If I'm not mistaken I think there is another thread covering this. I could be wrong though because according to the wife I'm wrong all the time. :lol:

Let's see here - if I'm doin' my cypherin' right, I'm old enough to be the father of those in the first 3 groups and part of the 4th group - and, old enough to be the grandfather of those in the first 2 groups and part of the 3rd group.

Damn, gettin' old kinda sneaks up on ya. I didn't know I was old til I realized it takes me all night to do what I use to do all night.

Just sayin',
