It has become clear to me in the previous days that any attempts at reconciliation and explanation with the community here has failed. I have tried my best. I really have. I pored my heart out trying. But it was all for nothing.
You win. There, I have said it.
Now there is only one thing left to do. Let us see if I can sum up the strength needed to end things once and for all.

That's three of us, then. I was five years (and eight months) old, and near the end of second grade. Yes, that means that I skipped a grade when I was young.LadyTevar wrote:I'm with Tsyroc: I was already in 2nd grade when Star Wars came out.Tsyroc wrote: Oh, and I'm 45. An Original Warsie*

Another original Warsie here.
First movie I paid to see more than once in the theater. I think it was 5 or 7 times, don't quite remember anymore.

Re: Demographics poll - Please respond
Not quite old enough for the original, although it's likely it was in the cinema's in the UK when I was born. I do remember Empire strikes back at the cinema, although I suspect it might have been quite a while after the original release as I would have been three at the time.SCRawl wrote:That's three of us, then.

I am quite surprised by the results on this. I expected the average value to be 3 categories down to be honest.

Re: Demographics poll - Please respond
Another original Warsie, Dad took me to see it on it's original release in the UK, would have been nearly five at the time.
So I stare wistfully at the Lightning for a couple of minutes. Two missiles, sharply raked razor-thin wings, a huge, pregnant belly full of fuel, and the two screamingly powerful engines that once rammed it from a cold start to a thousand miles per hour in under a minute. Life would be so much easier if our adverseries could be dealt with by supersonic death on wings - but alas, Human resources aren't so easily defeated.

Re: Demographics poll - Please respond
Some preliminary number-crunching, then, the basic stuff.
If we assume that everyone is in the middle of each age category (with the exception of the "under 20" category, for which I assumed that both members were 19), then the average age of respondents is 30.7 years. The median looks to be at the top end of the 25-29 category, so let's just say 29.
I may try to factor in the actual claimed ages to make things a little more accurate, but it's not always easy to separate the wheat from the chaff. Really, J, 28?
