Over on a Honorverse topic several of us chimed in as just turning 60 or would shortly, this made me wonder at the median age of fans. Also how Honorverse would compare to Safehold. So using the poll function lets find out. Note if you read both series do the poll on both please. Should be interesting. By the by David Weber is in his early 60s.

Ahem. I am, in fact, 60, not in my "early 60s"! :lol:

I would have to argue that sixty is, in fact, included in "early 60's". VERY early 60's.

This comes from someone who is a child in comparison, at only 55! :)

When I reach 60, my opinion on this almost certainly will change!

Didn't your parents teach you not to interrupt when the grown ups are speaking?

Just kidding :lol:

I'm old enough that I don't get carded and old enough that I don't like to admit my age. :lol:

Hi Henry Brown

I 've been told that "wisdom comes with age" -- BUT -- SOMETIMES AGE COMES ALONE :lol:

In my case, the jury's still out !!
