Haha, and all this time I thought those who argue with me and have issues with me were a lot older than me. Note to self: Let it roll off my back and not take them so seriously
I think a lot of the people on General US are the younger CD crowd. If you go to the specific forums, they're usually 30+ I notice.

The seniors are either not online or in obscure hobby forums... like the geranium club or the model glider repair support group.
That seems a bit stereotyped.
On some literature forums I go to they get a fair amount of people over 60. (And going by what one author told me some seniors, or at least him, go to pornography forums.) Anyway I think some religious and healthcare sites also get older posters. That might be stereotyping too, but it fits some of my actual experience.
Still I might agree that generally older people do use the Internet more for "practical" purposes like e-mail, research, or shopping and not so much for socializing or discussion.
I have to say, I had most of these people pegged correctly. I know it would be opening oneself up to critisism, but I think it would be fun for people to guess what age other people are. How old do you think I am?

I guess I don't fit the mold. I am 60 and you can see how much I am on from the number of my posts. I do go on shopping sites, but I belong to a few political forums also. I am not retired, but I work in the schools so I have a lot of time off, like now. As I have said, I hibernate now living in this state because the sun and heat bothers me here.
If I had never moved, I probably would never haven even come to this site. I know, I know. Don't say it.

Do you get on this site because you can talk with NYers? Or because FL is very boring? Just wondering.

I like talking with New Yorkers, and especially those who were originally from the NE, moved to Florida, left, and feel the same way I do about it.
I also like giving information on NYC, and NY in general, since I am a native who lived there for over half a century. I feel I know a bit about the place with all that.
