Just my 2 cents

Yes, you had 16 year olds. What percentage of the population were 16 and what percent 65? Did 16 year olds make up 50 percent of the members? Or were they only 10 percent or 1%.

If you search

.... you'll find there was a poll on age.

The point that you're missing is the group was always diverse. All races and all ages; teens, twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties. The diversity isn't the issue. It's the other things I mentioned.

... absolfreakinlutely!

Since we have segued to this point, one only has to peruse the XOutpost Meets Forum and view pics of any meet: it looks like the UN lunch crowd
in terms of race/age, etc.

V & I initially and ongoing, love the diversity: we enjoy hanging out at meets, public & private, with people generally younger than we are,
and of a multitude of backgrounds, skin color, etc. That, almost by itself, makes it very enjoyable and interesting for us.

Back at the Tossing Aerosol Cans Into the Campfire, what piques my occasional interest in this thread, is the predictable recurring post(s),
by any given poster, (with a couple dozen entries), offering little of any info or "value", but feels compelled to post a comment about
Use the Search Tab response, or some of us are meanies or, the Board had bullies, ad nauseum.

For those of you with constructive criticism or cogent comments, good; for those with simply complaints, please point out a "better Board",
on any subject.
