Makes me wonder about what the median age is on this newsgroup.
I suspect that very few (if any) are still under age 45, if not 50

 And n=15.
 Good guess for me.
 I could put together an anonymous SurveyMonkey poll if folks think it was worthwhile for this ...but it is just idle curiosity on my part for just how old we surviving USENET posters have become.
 Could also delve into other demographics too, such as how many are retired (my guess: ~40%?), or what OSs they really use where <g>.  Of course, being self-reported & unconfirmed, its only as reliable as its participants.

The scary thing is how few children this subset of Whites has produced.
I'd say the 14 of us in that list have 10 offspring total

It should be at least 30 or 40, to carry on the race.
By comparison, my wife's 3 cousins that are a little younger than us have 14 children between them.
