OK, I have faced up to doing the stats. First of all, I have only included those who posted this year as I can't be sure how many of the previous Mudcatter's are still here. This may leave out a lot of people who didn't bother reposting.

These are the previously reported figures:

Average Mudcat age is 46.4 years, M = 47.3, F = 44.3.

Age Range is 15 - 74, M = 19 - 74, F = 15 - 63

Modal range is M = 45 - 49, F = 50 - 54

And the new figures:

Average Mudcat Age is 46.23, M= 51.5, F=35.2

Age Range is 17-74, M=26-74, F=17-60

Modal Range is M = 53, F= 40

It is based on a much smaller sample of 21 M and 10 F

It is interesting that the mean age hasn't changed, so Mudcat isn't just the same old faces getting older!
