51 here.
Soon to be 52.
I’m 64 and already in the poll.
205 DAYS UNTIL MEDICARE!!!
You’re old when you don’t know how old you are. But, in the interests of this thread, and with the aid of calculators, calendars, pencil and paper, and to the detriment of the few brains cells that I have left, I calculate that I’m 58.
I’m tired now. I’m going to have a lie down.
I’m 54, and I already voted. I think.
In dog years, I’m already dead.
Regards,
Shodan
PS - Holy crap, RTFirefly - 56 with a two year old? You’re either really brave, or you have a death wish.
It’s not the years, it’s the mileage. I’m overly rich in experience.
Born August 24, 1949.
I am 60, and old enough to not remember for sure if I answered the last poll on age, username, sig line, and how I came to be crazy. I went to the other poll, and I posted. Then I came back here to say something or other.
I’m in the poll.
55.
I’m only 49 in hex. I’ve already voted.
I’m in the poll.
50
…and for the record, ‘Old Folks’ does NOT start at 50, it starts…somewhere older than that!
You can come in, just remember:
Wait for it.
STAY OFF THE LAWN!
Damn that felt good.
I’m 52, by the way and already in the poll.

Later I’ll try to update both sides of the table and get counts for both groups, but you can see that many of the respondents to the older thread probably participated in the poll without checking in here, too.
The Old Folks (sorry, Icarus) at the Dope are greater in number than the poll suggests, which probably raises some issues about “average age” and all that sort of thing.
If NinetyWt or anyone with better spreadsheet skills than mine wants to take the data and play with it, you have my blessings.
Just voted, 63 at last count.
53 here, i responded to previous survey
I’m 67. No brag, just fact.
In the poll. Looking forward to the 17th anniversary of my 39th birthday.
nineplussevencarrytheoneplusoneplusthree…makes me 55 for a little while longer.
If you already have our names on the old year poll and already know how old a lot of us are, do you still want us to post here? In case, yes -
54 and I just now voted on the age poll.
For those who don’t know hexadecimal, that’s 73 in decimal.
Only if you want to respond to this one. I’m monitoring both threads and will me combining the details into one summary to post here later.
I neglected to say before that I haven’t been collecting the responses (posts details) from Giles’s poll thread but I will be doing so soon.
Bottom line, if you’ve posted to any one of the three threads dealing with the Over 50 issue then I will try to get all those names in one place.
It’s totally up to those who haven’t responded to any of the threads which one (or none) they want to be counted in. And only those whose age is 50 or over or whose birth year is 1960 or earlier will be included in the summary data.
My whole point to this thread is to try to get an accounting for the Dopers Over 50, purely to get as close as we can to an accurate number of such folks. A little recognition of the fact that we’re a good sized minority here – at least 20% of the active members.
Thanks for asking.
Thanks, Crotalus. It’s been a while!
