Inspired by the Doper birth year poll, I’m curious to see what the mean/mode ages are for Dopers. I realize of course that this isn’t scientific since not all will participate but it should give a general idea when done, and people who don’t want to reveal their birth year can do so anonymously in this thread.

Please delete this thread- I somehow didn’t get the poll attached. I’ll start another.

There was an age poll posted 11 days ago: [How old are you?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=554352) Are you looking for something different from that?

I’d like to see a poll that actually had all the numbers on it, instead of just a range. I just checked, and you can have 100 options if you want.
