Just curious. By reading many of the posts and viewing many of the avatars, I guess I can be correct in assuming that most people on here, are probably my kid's age. It would be nice to have a small corner on this website for the 60's 70's graduates high school.

I graduated from high school in 75. Does that mean I'm an old timer? :D

As far as having a "corner" for the ones who have been around the Sun a few more times than others, I *like* being able to interact with everyone, age notwithstanding. Sure, age matters on a few things, but I figure I can learn as much from younger people as I can from older people.

I think we have quite a range of active posters here. And also, as you can see from this thread, even our staff is diverse in age, gender, etc...

It's a testament to this great community that so many people from various backgrounds can come together and form such a tight bond.

I'm not sure what I am. I'm either Gen X or Gen Y depending on who's date range you use. :)
