Perhaps the over 65 group is less likely to be computer-savvy?johnb wrote:Well at 58, I'm in with the biggest group. Its interesting that after a steady climb through the various age bands, that the numbers plunge in the over sixty five sector.

Exqueeze me. I wouldn't consider myself completely non-computer savvy. I did do 9 years as GuidePKS, Ranger Skip and Host Help Skip for AOL and have had a personal computer since 1982. I AM after all 68 which is well past 65. Please don't put me out with the daisies/trash just yet.Kris said: Perhaps the over 65 group is less likely to be computer-savvy?
I'm not nearly as computer savvy as Carl, but I think probably 75% of the membership is in that group. I've had no complaints about my co/adminning/with Carl of Skirts4Men.org. At least none I've heard about from the Moderators over there. One day over there I deleted 97 spammers one at a time. 
Layne, sit down and have a cuppajoe or if you're high class, have a latte'. 
Most speculation here has centered around the idea that "elders" are confident in their status in the community, have strong reputations amongst their peers, and therefore have the confidence to buck traditional Western norms. This view may, or may not, be accurate but sums up what seems to have been expressed to date.alsachti wrote:I am surprised by the results : the least numerous are the younger ones.

As a "young'un" this rings true. There are people who are able to craft an 'image' that is outside the norm of their profession and make it work for them, but it's not usually a safe choice, and it certainly varies from profession-to-profession. (Lady Gaga is certainly able to take some liberties that others couldn't take, for example).crfriend wrote:[...]alsachti wrote:I am surprised by the results : the least numerous are the younger ones.

When one thinks about it, the "youngster" who's just entering his professional life feels he has quite a bit to prove, and feels that he needs to prove it in such a visceral manner that his elders will immediately "get it". This entails a no-holds-barred "attention-to-message" that skirts and other "non-traditional" garments would likely detract from. [...] At the newcomer level, it's all about message and the presentation is solely used to further the message rather than being, potentially, distracting.
