Age Survey Result!
Alec Martin
readers of this newsgroup.
We had just over 100 replies.
Where do I start?
Well the OLDEST person clocked in at 57 (this consists of two lives, as he
had a heart transplant two years ago at the age of 55!) He has decided to
waive anonymity...so Well Done...James McLaren of Canada (big round of
applause!!!!. (he would also like to know if there are any other
transplants out there)
The youngest reply was from someone who is just 13.
We sorted the ages into five 'decades' i.e 10to 20, 21 to 30, 31 to 40 , 41
to 50 and 51 to 99!
The ages broke down as follows
10-20...........20%
21-30...........20%
31-40...........35%
41-50...........15%
51-99...........10%
We could not find anybody of these ages:
10,11,12,17,23,29,38,44,46,53 (or anything past 57 (sorry James McLaren :0)
Anybody read anything into this? :0)
Interesting to see so many actually under 20 years old
Well, that's about it...thanks to everybody taking part.

boots...each! :0)
PPS Somebody on this ng intimated he'd rather share his birthday with Tori
Amos than Bob, but his secret's safe.

According to the survey 60% or rmder's are over 30. Considering the
majority of internet users are in their 20's (I think), I'm actually a
bit surprised at how many "older" folks that there are ;-)
Good job Alec,

(who in 3 weeks will be leaving the 35% majority, and falling into the
over 40 -15%)

What I find surprising (or maybe actually reassuring) is that although only 25%
of the respondents to this survey are over 40, Blonde on Blonde appears, in
another thread, to be headed towards victory as Dylan's best album. 75% of rmd
readers were at most eight or not even born when that album came out.

Well, it still beats the alternative, no? :-)

And I'm _not_ the eldest after all!
Young people might want to contact EDLIS Youth on
which is a lively wing of those who think they are young Dylan
fans. No age limit but most are teens.
