I turned 40 this year, so by my calculations, that makes me >40.

Uff... I definitely went up an age bracket. I think I was 16 or so the last time I voted in one of these.

Hmm, I'm not sure I can edit poll results. Maybe one of the admins can...? Otherwise I guess you'll just have to stick around on the Watch 'til you catch up... ;)

I always thought it was silly to have >40 and >50.
It should be 40-50 and >50.

Duh.

Oh good...
Since it says >50 I can wait one more year before I need to change.
Right?
Just because I am 50 and five days...

Sorry, you are now 50+. And you might as well brace yourself for the AARP mailings, too. :twisted:

Yeah, they start trying to get you the moment you hit 50.

They were after me for some years before I turned 50, and started trying to get my wife to join when she was in her early 20s.

Somehow, their demographic marketing model makes some pretty unfounded assumptions...

Since my last job was in 2002, I've received mailings from them starting about 18 months after I last worked...

So, what does it take to change the '<40' option to '40-50' ?
