    Well, everyone-- here are the results of querying the SMC database.
    For you statistics folks, it forms a very nice standard normal curve.
    (Well, almost, there is a bit of left skewing, but the mean, median, and
    mode are all very close)

    There are around 700 (697) members who left their birthdays blank.
    Of everyone else, here is what I pulled:

    0 people over the age of 90. (Ken Salisbury? )
    16 members in their 80s.
    86 members in their 70s.
    245 members in their 60s.
    265 members in their 50s. (Keith)
    240 members in their 40s.
    105 members in their 30s.
    6 members in their 20's (Aaron), and
    No teens.

    I turn 41 in 10 days.

    For a while, I've been old enough to know how little I know.

    I've been hoping that as I get older, I'll actually know something, but it hasn't happened yet.

    Well I'm now 51 as of last Oct. Its good to be is such young company with people like Ken Salisbury not to mention all the talented people that post here.
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    My web page has a pop up. It is a free site, just close the pop up on the right side of the screen
