Old thread of Age of members on forum

Edward Tinker · 02-15-2014, 07:45 PM

Here is a new poll, not to steal the thunder from the other thread, but will be interesting to see.

Nobody can see your choice unless you make a remark in the section below.

Wow! So far, it's a perfect bell curve. Actually, I thought it would be biased toward the older/higher ages. It's great to see the youngsters participating.

I didn't pick colors, forum software does

I probably skewed the numbers a bit - since I am 53, I still allowed some ancient friends to be in my group

I probably should have said the old 40-55 - 56-66 ...

Not perfect.

Right now 2 - 3 on one side and 7 - 3 on the other.

Close though.

[B]My first Luger was a 1917/1920) at the age of 20. It is long gone now. At 58 I started having more funds available. One thought though, as we all age, do most forum member have plans for passing their Luger collections on? or will they end up in auctions? Most sub 25 year olds today seem to know nothing of what a Luger is or it's history, outside they know of the 9mm Luger ammo, but fail to the two together and their inherited Luger ends up in a pawn shop.

you can't see them until you vote...

CAP Black · 02-16-2014, 10:02 PM

When I first viewed the box containing your response it contained a grouping of age selections to vote but then it went away.

There's an answer to your question.

The movie clip is "R" rated: a couple of "F"-bombs and a hint of bias. Don't search for it around the kids.

Google: "Why am I Mr. Pink" >>>> then watch the clip. Nouveau Classic.

"Reservoir Dogs" was the first thing that came to mind, LOL. Well played, sir.

Yep! "n" is still too small for a +90% confidence level but I think we have "3 Sigma's under the graph."

PS. Guess who got an "A" in Stats 601? (And never used it thereafter!)
