P.S. "Millennials" as a generation range from 23 to almost 40 years old. I was born in 83 and am technically a Millennial at 36 years old. So us "old" millennials also buy them, and then the new generation (not Millennials) do as well (basically college kids). Lots of old farts buy them too, a large number of which are looking to get back into riding on the cheap. Sorry old farts.
Hey I resemble this remark

I too resemble that remark!

Glad to see Dan's back, I was concerned we might have to have a changing of the guard and I ofcourse would have to dutifully throw my hat in the ring lol. They would be some big shoes to fill but I'm confident I've memorized and plagiarized enough of his hard work and information to get by..

Plagiarize away. I never really left, just too busy to do more than occasionally lurk about for a bit.
