My intention is to post an updated summary at the top of the next page or after the thread has had no activity for three days, in case it doesn’t go to a new page.
Best I can figure, somebody wanted to “win the thread” and probably killed the chance to be counted for real. I think you’re The Man! Thanks for chiming in.
For me, the math is always easy. Since my birthday is barely a week into the year, it’s pretty much always after my birthday during any given year. I just have to subtract birth year from current year and that’s my age. It is getting to be a rather larger number than I’m used to, somehow.
I can understand the confusion I may have helped to create. There are at least four threads dealing with ages that I know of going on currently. I have been monitoring all of them to collect all the names for Dopers over 49, either with stated ages or with years of birth. I have been posting comments and occasional lists of names in these four threads. (For a list of those threads, check my posts in Sampiro’s thread.)
I’m planning to post as complete a list as I can get – of Dopers over 49 – by the time this thread gets to 101 posts (next page) or when it has gone three days with no activity.
But to deal with your concerns, kittenblue, here’s the list or posters to this thread as of your post above. I hope the counts numbers as self-explanatory:

=======================================
I’ll get links to the current threads on ages and post them here shortly.
I hope this clarifies what’s going on with the summary data so far.
This link to Sampiro’s thread has the ongoing threads dealing with Dopers’ ages and birth years where I have posted some forms of summary data.
Sadly, no two of those lists have the same names and data. I’m trying to consolidate all of that for a later posting here. This is the thread I started, so it seems the likely place to put the summary even if the names on the summary didn’t originate here.
As I have stated several times, my main concern in all these threads is to identify as best I can the Over 49 Dopers. I just know there are more of us than have shown up in these threads!
Bottom line: if you’re over 49 and have posted to any one of these threads saying such a thing, I have tried to get your name and age/birthyear (or both) into the ultimate summary. Stay tuned!
