Okay. Enough. This is the very last straw. I dropped in to see what you folks were up to and (sure-enough-as-usual-ad-nauseum) opted to Sign Up. So here I am, a full-fledged member and already you've managed to tick me off. Why oh why for pete's sake must you and every other site request my age??? I'm not especially bothered by my age; what bothers me is that its submission immediately qualifies me for a demographic in which I don't fit. I'm a living contradiction; I even contradict myself. If my age is of no importance except as demographical criterion, then don't stop there. It would serve you far better to know whether or not I've got polish on my toenails.
