But did you vote in the pole? If you didn't mark it on the pole, it doesn't get counted.

Well if a superior wants a midshipman to talk he has to talk... :-)

I'm 27 (already voted on both polls) and I first began reading Safehold 1 or 2 years ago before I found out about Honorverse some months later.
Now I'm loving both series.
And most of the time I'm silently stalking these halls here listening to all the talking... :)

Welcome to the debates. Stick your nickels worth in when you can. Always glad to hear second or third opinions. Just because you're young, that's no reason not to let people know what you think (about the books or any other topic).

Sheesh, Knick, you make Boronian like 12 years old, :D or still in diddies. :lol: S/he is old enough to vote and drink and everything. 27 is old enough for all that.

Boronian, welcome aboard. Join in. Please. :D

And that goes for all the rest of you silent types out there, too. If I can natter on here...so can you. :D

David Weber commented on the Safehold Forum that our ages made him feel old, and I tried to cheer him up:

Hi RFC

Your bio says you were at onetime planning on being professor, I had thought I might like to be too, and lucked out to teach a college level course. Had you done so you would have noticed the students stay the same age while you get older. Remember the old musical with Peter O'Toole Goodbye Mr. Chips where it is noted the teachers get older but the students are eternally youthful? With children your difference in age remains the same forever however, with students it gets larger yearly, and thus more depressingly. Perhaps God did you a favor by changing your life's carrier path :D

I did teach for two years while I was in graduate school, Poker, and you're absolutely right.

Not that young but young. And I think the legal drinking age should be moved to 80 or 90, just to make sure that the drinker is mature, you understand. Not like us high spirited youngsters of 60 or so.

Yeah for a moment I just felt like 12. It was a very long time ago that I heard a sentence like that :D

Well here you are allowed to drink as soon as you become 16 and to vote with 18. Not that old... ;)

If I got something interesting to say I will post it, don't worry :-)
