    Didn't want to put 'balding' in case it was sexist to any women out there. :cool:

    Hahah, All power, no responsibility :mad:

    But Splunge is probably right though, since there are shure to be a number of younger BOM doodlers out there ;)

    (not me counted then... I'm older than my age :book: ).

    BTW, does everybody sleep while i write the boards? :cry:

    Still no ankle-biters or ancient sages, but I am surprised at the number of baby boomers and slippery slopers. Interesting. I thought it was all almost all teenagers here.

    Well, Splunge - looks like you're in the top 7% of SP members age-wise (at least of those who have answered the poll).

    Frittering away my peak years? Yeah, that sounds pretty close to completely accurate....
