Topic: PA Age Distribution and Geography Posted: September 23 2008 at 08:58 |
Over my years here, I seem to have noticed some broad patterns regarding PA members' relative age groups and geographic distributions.
I am curious to know if my perceptions are accurate, and what this might indicate about prog fans around the world. I have no "agenda" here -- the poll results should be interesting. After a significant number of responses come in, we can all discuss any possible implications of the results.
Please note that this poll was not designed to exhaustively list all geographic regions. Please take no offense if your area is not specifically named, but simply select "other" in such a case, and then tell us exactly where you live, if you like. (I wanted to list the most commonly seen areas of representation here, and not make the poll too huge.)

Yes, and in PA terms, too young (and too not British) to hang out in the shed but too old to hang out in the suede room. I think that we need a place to hang out somewhere between the shed and the suede room. Maybe we can start the Shred room or something. Of course that would probably be hard on the eyes of the shed's denizens. They'd keep stumbling into the wrong room because they forgot their bifocals or the print wasn't big enough or some such thing.
