I predict that 51- to 54-year-olds will be underrepresented in your survey.

51-54 should know their place. That is, there is no place for them.

Sure there is, over on the taco.

Hi Slab, I kinda like these polls. It gives me a chance march with the regulars.

Code

Age range             Age spread 
------------          ------------- 
 0- 18 YRS            18 yrs 
19-25 YRS             7 yrs 
26-35 YRS             9 yrs 
36-40 YRS             4 yrs 
41-45 YRS             4 yrs 
46-50 YRS             5 yrs 
51-54 (missing)       3 yrs 
55 and above          yikes, we're off the list 
------------          -------------

(I'm typing this in "code" because rc.com does not use a "table".)

It's a little late to re-design your poll, Slab, but maybe, just to be representative, you should have designed it like this:

Code

Age range 
------------ 
 0- 9 YRS 
10-19 YRS 
20-29 YRS 
30-39 YRS 
40-49 YRS 
50-59 YRS 
60-69 YRS 
------------

Ten-year spread might not be your choice, you can use 5-years, but at least it's even. That way, all us readers can see how the age spread goes. Hey! we're rock-jocks, not statisticians. (Or should I say we're statistics, not statisticians.)

On the other hand, you can see for yourself how the guys respond to your poll.

35: Climbing 'for real' about 8 years. 10 since I first tried it. Time flies. I'm glad I havn't moved up to the Masters division just yet.
