Old enough to have clear memories of the attention devoted on TV to the Watergate mess as it was happening but not old enough to remember the original Star Trek when it was in its first run. ---

> [@PigBoy](#): > > 1. How long before someone begins posting regularly updated summary statistics in this thread? It’s bound to happen. Been done, a year or so ago. I’m not going to search for it, but maybe somebody without an (ahem) failing memory can remember the title or OP and post a link. IIRC, the median doper age in that thread was 31, with 13 being the youngest and 81 the oldest.
