    Thank you all for responding to this poll.

    Thank you Webmaster for taking the time to set up the format for my inquiry.

    The rational for why I asked these questions was to prove a point.

    I also participate on another forum that is for my daytime profession, pharmaceutical sales. The participants on this forum are supposed to be well-educated professionals. The comments made on this site are nothing like this. They are actual a disgrace and poorly reflect upon my profession.

    I enjoy BUDOSEEK. I have found the participants on this forum to be diverse and I wanted to quantify the demographics of its members.

    My bottom line conclusion is that the MA wins out again. I have discover over the many years in the MA that the majority of individuals that are true martial artist are from a wide social economic demographic. We are diverse in our background but have a common passion for the MA. This common interest breeds respect and a mutual understanding among us.

    I for one enjoy my interactions with my fellow martial artist –than my painful interactions with those that I have to work with.

    Once again thank you for participating in this poll.

    Just turned 26. The night before my birthday, my hair was completely black. Woke up next morning, BAM! Greying at the temples. Don't quite know what to make of that.

    Just turned 32 and noticed silver and white hairs sneaking up there. Now who's been hiding them in my hairbrush as a joke?

    What happened to the times when Mother Nature used to wait a whole 'nother 10 years or so before sneaking up on you like that?
