Age demography: what's your age?

Almost a year ago, I wrote:

I have the feeling this is a forum where the average age of the users is much higher than any other forum I know, so I hope you don't mind this little question about demography. In which age group are you established?

And I made a cute little poll to go with the post. Can we repeat it?

I'm 22 myself.

How should people vote if they're 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, or 63 years old? And just out of curiosity: what made you pick 8 year long age ranges instead of the more customary 10 or 5 year ranges?

Theres actually a thread in general discussion about this.

D'oh! I just wanted to make the punny attempt, but I guess people are answering there...

About how people should respond if they are in the "limit values", it's easy, one should mark himself in the upper level. You are not "21 years old", you are 21 years, x months, y days old, which makes you older than 21.

The time spans of 7 years come, actually, because I read somewhere that one year for a dog equates seven years of a human being. Not too related, I admit it, but it was actually the cause. I'm weird like that...

I had to make sure you weren't displaying the voters in the poll results before I voted.

The time I've spent on this forum has made me value the privacy of its members

Oh? I'm quite proud that I've been able to accumulate more than sixty seven years in this crazy world and still haven't lost my mind; at least I don't think I have, and if I have I'm unaware of it.

I turned 40 last bday myself. Sometimes I wonder "what happened? Wasn't I just 18 not so long ago?" lol.

Me too. I'm only a couple months away from 41.

But my reaction is more, "I'm totally unqualified for this. I hope no-one finds out and takes away my Aged 40 License".

still have a year to go, but I know the feeling. You stop somewhere in the late twenties and never get older.
