It would be interesting to take the data from this thread and draw up a demographics chart for PF users. It would also be nice if moreof the veteran users contributed to this thread, thereby lending greater accuracy to the above mentioned chart.

That would be a total waste of time to generate wildly innaccurate data when accurate data is much easier to get from already-listed locations, timezones and birthdates. Last time I calculated (some years ago), I believe the average PFer was a 26 year old swimming in the western atlantic ocean. The most common cities were London and Toronto.

What does your nickname mean? Thats my name. Muaz means Protected by God! Why did you choose it? hey why should I be scared of putting my original name if I am protected by the BOSS himself. I pretty much use the same name everywhere and so google it and you will find me (IF you want to that is :-P) How old are you? 26 Male of Female? Male Where at? At the moment Dhaka Bangladesh (planning to go to Canada or US for higher studies, emphasis on the word "planning") Additional facts: I am a Trekkie , love philosophy in the original sense of the word (love for knowledge). So I am interested in linguistic, physics (theoretical), history, political science, mathematics, literature, philosophy (subject lolz). Trying to be an economist (hence the higher studies) and working in a development project.

Well obviously you'd have more accurate data . It'd be interesting to look at it is what I meant, from whichever source...the more accurate the better, of course.

My nickname is a latin-english bi-lingual pun which represents my sleeping lifestyle and gives continual references to Kierkegaard's knight of faith. I'm a 29 year old boy stuck in a man's body. I live in the great plains. The Gobi desert in Mongolia sees the most extreme temperature ranges on the planet.

Just putting this back in the picture. I'm always curious about why people choose the nicks they have.
