I finally got around to answering this post.

I think this would be a very interesting poll question. Demographics about an
audience are always interesting. My answers:

How old are you:  0-15 - Karin
                 31-50 - KarinsDad, KarinsMom

I haven't quite gotten into the over 50 category, but one day soon I reckon.
Glad you didn't break it down further.

Karin on the other hand could care less. She is more interested on getting me
OFF of the computer than anything that could possibly be posted here. But it is
good to see that people are cognizant of the fact that children could be reading
this forum.
