IMO age is just a number, nothing more, nothing less. I'm a 23 yr old business owner with a well established web development company, office and all. The suprise on some client's faces when i tell them my age always makes me laugh.
Proof be told, it doesnt matter how old you are, it matters as to what you know, and how you contribute your knowledge.

Exactly Richard. When I was 20, I was part of a team of 3 who started a juice and smooth franchise Juice Zone. I would be training and selling the business to franchisees, and they'd be totally shocked if/when they found out how old I was. I've since left the company due to personal conflicts with the other owners (a whole other kettle of fish...), but yeah, if you've got the smarts and can pull it off, who cares if you're a teenager or 68...

Ditto, age means nothing (except driving and taxes  ) If you lie to stay safe, who cares.

Never have guessed you were 16, you always seem so much older on the boards.
Age doesn't matter on the internet to me as you can't see anybody face to face. I've lied about my age before due to people not taking you seriously or for safety.
No worries at all

Well ...
Being 16 and acting 32, I suppose is better than being 50 and acting 16, which is what I often do...
Try not to let this bother you too much, Brian.
I have done much worse things than this in my life, for which, believe it or not, I have no regret.
Why not?
Because I have "true" forgiveness from where it really counts, and have "truly" accepted it.
And when you realize that forgivness like this even exists... you automatically stop doing the things that caused you to need the forgivness in the first place.
All my mistakes that require forgivness now... is pretty minor stuff.
:wink:

Brian,
You're cool. I kinda figured you weren't 32. (I do my homework on people involved in the forum. BTW, Jazzee is actually a 54 year old black guy.)
Age really hasn't mattered. I know 30, 40 and 50 year olds here who are really immature. I've even banned a few of them. You're a very patient, understanding and generous person. So what if you're 16?

Brian,
I am 18 myself and frankly I don't care about age. I have only seen you on the forums a few times and I know very few 32 year old people who customize their desktop.
To me, your age doesn't matter. You're a cool kid from what I have seen and I am happy to have met you. I also saw that you are into desktop customization which i really appreciate. Pity to see little people who are interested in that stuff.
As for the rest, age matters in a way, i am used to to that from Neowin, but being here at IMR I don't care. As long as you remain the cool person I have seen the past few days.
Enjoy your youth while you can.
Dazzla.
