I am in the 41 to 50 range, however, it’s important to point out that I used to be younger than that. ---

> [@jjimm](#): > > I’d say they’ll be just over one year different. No – we are all getting older individually, but the population will probably stay at the same average age. We old folk die (or go senile, which has much the same effect), and young folk discover the virtues of the SDMB and join the population.
