71 could possibly be of the Silent Generation (athoritarian)

Archea, Seattle, Creekster are Baby Boomers (revolutionaries)

The majority of posters, like me, are Gen X'ers (anti-authority slackers)

And we likely have a few Generation Y'ers (Y must I, Y won't you do it for me)
Actually I am of the baby boomer generation. However the hippies and war protestors bugged me. Maybe that is why I am authoritarian.

In market research, Gen Y begins with 1978.

Which would mean I'm in X and my brother (13-mo-younger) is Y.
Weird, huh?
