How old are you?

I've been an AN frequent for several years now. I love the website. I live in Bismarck, ND, stuck in the middle of thousands of Twins fans. There just aren't a lot of A's fans to talk baseball with. That's why AN appeals to me so much because not only does everyone here genuinely like the A's, but the discussion that take place a lot of the time are above a 3rd grade level.
As I become more and more familiar with everyone's views I have begun to "like" certain users more than others. That could be because they're thoughts are more in line with mine or because they're articulate. There are a lot of other reasons too.
It dawned on me this morning. I don't know what the age is of any of the users. Obviously, some people remember taking their kids to the 1989 World Series, so we get an idea of how old they are... but by and large I don't know anyone's age.
Who knows... maybe I'll be blown away that the users I trust most on AN are 14 years old. Maybe they're 55. I don't know....
With that being said... let's have an age poll.
How old are you?
I'm 26 by the way.

They say you are only as old as you feel
So, when I am replying to stuff on AN, I am 12. The rest of the time I feel like I’m 96.

Good question.
Pretty much taken down, but here’s one of the old maps.
Obviously, it’s a little outdated…
Time permitting (and if I can find the easiest way to do it), maybe there will be an AN Census 2009.

I'm still 18
But I chose the 19-25 option because I don’t think a college student and a 5th grader are comparable.

Bitter much?

Here are some old polls...
From January 2005. The 25-34 age bracket won, with 37% of the vote.
From July 2005. The 30-40 age bracket won, with 24% of the vote. (But if you add up the 20s, which were split into a few different categories, they would have won.)
From April 2006 (with fewer overall votes).
And here’s an AN gender poll from July 2005.
This isn’t an age poll, but it’s entertaining: Getting to know you, from July 2006.
I have a feeling there’s at least one more recent poll, but I can’t find it…
