Aside from your gender that describes most RPGers.

I don't know why, but this post suddenly made me *very* old. I'm not the
oldest person on the list, but my time, off and on, goes back to 92 or 93,
when *I* was in college. Back then, most of the listmembers were in
college, but I guess with the explosion of the Internet, we've acquired a
lot of high school age members.

But reading this, I suddenly felt like an old man...it's just so rare that
I deal with anyone under 21 anymore unless they are asking "Can I take your
order please?" that this "sudden" burt of youth on RN makes me feel
ancient...

Hey, maybe we should start an old man's club on RN, gotta be at least 25 or
older. You could put "RN Geriatric Brigade" or something in your .sig and
be allowed one post per thread going on about "back in my day, we didn't
have the Internet, we had to read RN with smoke signals..."

*sigh*

Time to get out the walker...

Who is 25 going on 76...
