     A couple of hours ago, I received an E-mail from a young man
who expressed some surprise that a person my age had ever *heard*
of 'Ranma «' much less knew something about the series.
     While allowing for the obvious fact that most of the members
of the FFML are around college age, I began to wonder just how
many of my fellow otaku's out there are in the 'Over 40' club - an age
where most have teenagers of their own (if they have children).

     Let's just see a show of hands (or canes, if you choose), of
the ML members over the age of 40.

     Funny how the Internet changes how we perceive each other. 
One of my Fanfic Team members, up till a few weeks ago, thought I
was a college kid somewhere in the Midwest.  I'm 46 with a son
only two years younger this inquisitive team member.
     
     We're out here.  Some lurking.  Some writing.  But all of us
enjoying manga, Anime, and good Fanfics.

youngins.  Goin back to the 'home' now.)
