I'm 70, when I work out side cleaning up the yard or doing Garden work my legs start hurting and don't stop hurting for days later!

Those composers didn't trust anyone over 30.
Except for Gilmour (78 yo), all are now dead or over 80
A few things I've learned over the years...
Men don't lie about their weight (till after a divorce) or their age. You become invisible to everyone except to those who take your cash at the checkout, doing things right and slow may not give better results but it's safer, God has a sense of humor, he takes the hair from your head and deposits it in your ears and nose, drag racing is now guys in heels rushing to a shoe sale,
"Latins" speak Spanish but not Latin, and Italians speak Latin but not Spanish.

I've been on various forums for a long time, and before that I was on various alt.guns subgroups on Usenet as far back as the mid 80s. During this time I've seen plenty of posts from people who were already up there in age when the post was made. I've started to become concerned about how much irreplaceable domain knowledge is contained in these forums that could be lost in an instant if the forum shuts down. It's not uncommon to see an interesting older post, click to see the author's profile, and discover that their last post was several years ago. I've started bookmarking many interesting posts on various forums, intending to go back and copy the important content. Hopefully some of these forums will be archived and available for a long time.

You're right. I bookmark some and print screen others for future reference.
As far as some sites disappearing, it seems as if one company owns many of the specialty info sites and the permanence of the info contained in them depends on the longevity of that company.

So, this is where old men go when they retire. The youngins are too busy doing other things.

We are like fine wine.....We get better with age....
I am surprised that there is no one under 30 and only two in the next category older. I knew that the balance of the membership was in the older group, but without younger members we'll eventually be in trouble. Yes, I'm in the most populated group. At least I'm not out there all by myself.

There's a lot of experience, wisdom, and gray hair here, I love it.
30 and under may have never even heard of Cowboys let alone "single action" handguns.....hell, they may not even be familiar with steel...!!!!I am surprised that there is no one under 30 and only two in the next category older.
