To look at the crowd here, you would certainly get that impression. We're mostly a bunch of old guys complaining about arthritis and diminished hand strength.
This is something I've been thinking about for a while, and I was finally moved to open the question for discussion by @Westerly Wood mentioning on the current "strings" thread that he's thinking of moving to 11s because he's "getting old" and having problems with 12s. But the question is more than just being about us; what I mean to ask is, do we trend older here because young people are not picking up the acoustic guitar anymore? Or is it something else, like maybe we hang out here because we just have more time on our wrinkled old hands?
