A Brief Pause From The Ordinary..., Demographics time--please just humor me Options

I just joined this community last night, and I'm just curious about some of the people here. I'm only 19 years old, but I'm more interested in all things space than anyone I've ever met. Just out of curiosity, what are people's ages in this forum?

Looong time lurker... first time poster (just registered... finally!). I'm 42, a lab technologist living in Vancouver, BC, CA. I've been perusing this board since finding it through #maestro on IRC, during those heady days of EDL. It's been an absolute delight to follow the subsequent happenings here. Big compliments to the frequent posters, forum leads and, of course Doug, for assembling such a fine place to keep up to date.

I've been a space enthusiast for as long as I can remember, early interest being fostered by the occasional space article in National Geographic. I couldn't wait for the next issue to come through the mail slot to see if there was an update on Voyager or some new story/pics from Apollo. What a difference the internet has made for the immediacy of information available. I recall during pathfinder/sojourner that I was keeping tabs on its status through the web at the same time as watching the live news conference on CNN. The first images were available on my monitor before they were even shown to the media! It's still fascinating to watch how some theories are hashed out here before their "official" release.

Keep up the good work.
