Although I am suprisd at that high ages of a lot of the people here I'm 
not really suprised that the average is higher that would typically be 
expected as I've found that when I mention the word "newsgroup" to the 
other students when I was going to school (and even now with supposedly 
other graduates), they just give me a confused look.  Perhaps it's just 
where I went to school though or where I hang out, but it can't all be 
coincidence.
