Seriously?
We just had this question asked last week... and have had a total of 5 polls on it now ( which is an absolute mind-fuck to me ). I think there's even more than what my search for "poll age" turned up. https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic36549?highlight=poll+age https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic32206?highlight=poll+age https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic14840?highlight=poll+age https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic815?highlight=poll+age https://modernvespa.com/forum/topic2481?highlight=poll+age ⚠️ Last edited by Rover Eric on UTC; edited 2 times

Dont you follow elections, polls change every day in this country. Plus we all have gotten older since the last poll. Furhtermore, since the last poll dissapeared so quick, it is not reilable

If i sound annoyed, it's only because 1 more age poll and we're going to have to register the domain name "ModernVespaAgePoll.com", change the name of the website, and all of us are going to have to update our browser bookmarks. And i hate having to do that.
No more age polls. Put your face in your avatar. It's an easy way of telling who is an oldster and not to be trusted. |

Soooo,
I was never here and you never saw me, but I wanted to save y'all from another poll The results from the (my) last poll look like: (after I deleted a couple of improbable "over 80" protest votes) Running the statistics on this distribution produces an average age of 49 (And the 40 yr olds are back--they must have been on vacation in August ) |

I've aged a "year" since the last poll, 45 to 46. Old data unreliable. Time for a new poll.
Sometimes I wish there were a way to respond w/o bumping the thread to the top for those times when you can't hold your tongue, but you don't want to add life to a thread. Now is such a time. No offense intended George. If you or anyone is curious, ask anything. We can choose to read or not read, respond or not respond, vote or not vote. All part of the fun here. |

What is the average age of Modern Vespa owners
Basically from what I can remember about my maths lessons years ago you will need to pm every MV member, ascertain their age, total all the ages and divide it by the number of members and there you have it THE AVERAGE AGE OF MODERN VESPA OWNERS! Peice of piss!!! |

Polls on this topic are useless and unnecessary.
This is clearly a data collection issue. To get good data and deal with the dynamic aspects of summarizing age into appropriate groupings, we need Jess to update profiles to make birth date (with year) mandatory, with a corollary requirement to provide corroboration - perhaps driver's license, ssn or what not - then run statistics on current age from that data. The slice and dice could get very interesting when additional data domains are added to the analysis - such as typical posting patterns by age group, etc. One could begin to make predictive statements regarding a specific users tendency to make snarky comments based on demographics. Eric works in network security - guess what I do all day.... |

Age? Bovvered?
I have no clue why some are so interested in this statistic. What relevance (and to what) does it have? |

Redundancy is the unnecessary use of either needless, tautological, pleonastic or superfluous text, by which one repeats, in duplication, the same, identical, aforesaid things over and over and over and over again, beyond what would be needed or required to explain, or make comprehensible, the intended or signified meaning of that which one wishes to convey. These things can be referred to as being Redundant. Customarily, it is usually common in redundancy to repeat, sometimes with different phrasing or words, the same idea or reasoning, thus restating one's thoughts, sometimes paraphrasing oneself and effectively saying the same thing twice, or double, or thrice (three times; triply so), or any number of excessive, unnecessary restatements greater than zero.

I think we need a poll to figure out the average time in between polls trying to find the age of polled poll takers.
I'm 12. |
