Just curious about the age distribution of flashaholics, at least here on BLF. I'm guessing we'll be fairly spread out (flashaholism does not differentiate).

36 here...but when I'm playing with flashlights I'm 10 all over again!

18 here.

45 tomorrow and my wife and I have the same birthday but she is younger!

20 here, so I chose 10-20 :)

36 but feel 63. :)

36 stopped counting at 26

I will be 52 in three weeks. My guess is a high percentage will be "middle aged."

<armchair psychoanalysis>: A certain state of life contentment/resignation must exist for a hobby like this. A person, for example, is not likely to indulge a few hours in the back yard taking pictures of flashlight beams in the middle of the night if he or she were in some kind of life crisis, were pressed for time, not able to have a Paypal account or otherwise burdened emotionally. Even though I've had a strong interest in flashlights since my earliest memory, there is no way I would have pursued it 10 or 20 years ago with the fixitity of purpose I do now. </introspection>

Damn, just moved to the next age group a month ago... 31.

Still young at heart and have the desire to learn and expand my skills in many new areas.

Okay... who is under 10? Just asking so i watch my language better...
