> [@NinetyWt](#): > > I’d like to get someone to check it first. _hint, hint._ Other than this thread, where have you gotten the names and years for your list above? I’m concerned with the Older Than 1960 group and have attempted to verify them as I go, but the names on your list don’t appear to be all from this thread. Are there other threads beside the Poll that **Giles** put up just recently and my “Old Folks” thread where Dopers and either birth years or ages are collected? I suspect the verification task will depend on other places where Dopers have volunteered that info. ---

Some have come from other threads like “who has been married the longest” or when someone posts their birthdate for some reason. Mostly the data is from this thread, and that’s actually what I meant - if Asimovian or someone else would like to take my spreadsheet and back-check it with this thread just to make sure I didn’t miss anyone (such as RTfirefly above). ---

Mostly the data is from this thread, and that’s actually what I meant - if Asimovian or someone else would like to take my spreadsheet and back-check it with this thread just to make sure I didn’t miss anyone (such as RTfirefly above). That’s good to know about your other sources. Since my efforts have been on just a subset of your data, I would think **Asimovian** as OP of this thread should be the one to authenticate it. Especially since **Asimovian** would like to have it made a sticky. By the way, have you checked profiles for birthdays and/or years of birth? I haven’t done that myself, and wasn’t planning to, mostly because of the number of members who are inactive. However, if they’ve included those details in their profiles, it ought to be considered a “public knowledge” kind of thing and as good as if they had posted that info to a thread. ---

I’m happy to authenticate, but I look to have a full weekend ahead (much of it stuck at work), so it may take me a little bit. ---

I was born in 1981, which means I inch slowly toward thirty. Still in school, never had a real job. Harumph. My girlfriend, who posted here years ago as Phoebestar and still lurks daily, was born in 1976. (Happily, she had a career before she was thirty.) ---

Hey, I’m old enough, you don’t have push be up four years! 😉 You’ve got me as 1952, it should be 1956. Although I see **Zeldar** has me correctly. ---

1. Late December. My dad’s an accountant, so the joke was he had my mom jump off the piano to induce labor so he could deduct me for the whole year. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-dopers-were-born-in-the-same-year/440248.md?page=21) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-dopers-were-born-in-the-same-year/440248.md?page=23)
