[TheForge] Speaking of age...

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

Just turned 41 on 01-25....You? 

I was wondering (has this come up before?), how many youngin's are on
theforge?  How's about we define that as anyone under 30?  I ask because
I feel as if I'm one of the younger people here and that got me to
wondering about whether there is a new generation to pick up where and
when we leave off?  I know of only a few young new-ish smiths like Nigel
Tudor (met him at Touchstone several years ago.  Very talented young
guy).  Do things look promising for the coming generation or are we
heading down another dead end, a la 1970?

Is anyone watching this?  Does ABANA hold this as an issue?  If not,
should they?
