In reply to the discussion: What is the average age group of posters on this forum? [View all]PoindexterOglethorpe
(25,855 posts)27. I suspect it is a lot older than most of us realize.
I'm 69. I originally signed up not long after DU came on line, then left and came back.
I can recall in the early years that there seemed to be a fair amount of young people, under age 30 or even age 20, and they seem to have disappeared, not stayed here and grown old along with the rest of us.
That's a genuine shame.
