How to separate "older" forum users from "younger" forum users.

[Hwoltage]

The "older" forum users will graduate from communicating on the forum to meeting for dinner, providing a room for the night should anyone come through a particular town while traveling, etc. These meetings usually result in both parties sitting around a dining room or coffee table, sharing a bottle of wine and telling stories until the wee hours of the night.

The younger" users will either progress from posting on the forum to texting, or don't care. Requests for personal encounters or phone calls are viewed as "weird".

Verdict: We are a society in decline.

Just yesterday WE were a disappointment to OUR elders... how time flies.

Really? I have made it a point to meet members when I get the chance, and I have a standing invite for a beer (or beverage of your choice) on me for any member that comes to Montana and wants to meet up.

Based on the polls I have seen I am on the younger side of this forum, 27.

In all honesty, Montana is probably subject to residual politeness from Canada.

That said, didn't you catch the popcorn emoticon?

Gee, a thread engineered to encourage generational conflict. Productive use of the forum. Kudos to you.

I think there are unfriendly and friendly people across most existing demographics.

To add, I am like you in my willingness to meet other members. 31 years of age, also the younger side of the forum.

Wrong. It's a thread engineered to solicit opinions about generational conflicts within our society.

Sorry dude, parents told me I can't have any more strangers over to the crib. Last dude from TGP that was over drank half the liquor cabinet and passed out in the tub.

I'm going to go to Eric Peterson's house and drink his beers on his porch.

I am 54, from Canada, and don't drink, but am so polite I will go out and buy beer for you if you let me know you are stopping by. As long as you text ahead.
