Personally, I find the age exchange in the JA contests to be more
interesting as it gives clues to our demographics and the future of the hobby.
Of
course, people can lie about it.
The downside is my own number keeps going up. I've spoken with my doctor
about getting this down a bit, but he wasn't optimistic. But I've heard of
this fountain down in Florida ...
