It's funny, really. For me, the main advantage of the internet, as a communication format, is the removal of superficial aspects of our physical person, IE age, sex, race, location, appearance, socio-economic status, etc.
On the internet, and specifically in pure text, you are a disembodied intellectual entity. The text is not as nuanced as natural speech, but the trade off is that the format functions as an equalizer of people.
So, it's always funny to me when people refer to age on the internet. Back at AudioGalaxy, people on some of the peripheral boards would assume I was old, whatever that even means.
