@LilacTree  You are lovely!

@SeaMaiden

Thanks SeaMaiden.  I don't look bad for my age, I guess.

@LilacTree  Ok, Lilac looks like you have discovered the fountain of youth or a new brand of skin care not sold on the Q.  Loved the other avatar but this new one is a WOW!!

I haven't made a secret of my age on the forums - I've said it a time or few and gave out info that would pinpoint it - but I wouldn't just give it in a thread that basically asks "how old are each of you who are responding?" The OP's curiosity may be just that, but other uses can be made of the info, if combined with other info. That's just me.

@Moonchilde  Just a simple question. I highy doubt someone is going to scam anyone with this.  Of course you can believe whatever you wish and that is perfectly fine.

I have no doubt that my choice, and what I believe is possible, is perfectly fine. You responded as I was in the process of adding to my post to clarify that I was not saying I thought that was your itent in starting the thread.

I'm not the first or only poster to question threads that could be, or might be, used to gather info. Scam was far from my mind; troubling mischief is much more likely.

She didn't ask that. She asked if there were any 20-somethings. People have chosen to respond with their ages, but could just as easily say "No" and have answered the question she asked.

It's good to be cautious with personal information, but I don't think this case is worthy of going above and beyond.

Thanks.  I think it helps that it is somewhat blurry.  I wish I could post the whole photo, but that is frowned upon here.  It would show my two granddaughters, who tower over me, on each side.

I am 59.

@Moonchilde....

I think you do have a valid reason to voice your concern. It is unfortunate that the criminal mind is hard at work everyday. I wouldn't doubt that there are people far more savvy than mysel, that could somehow mastermind some kind of fraud or scam. I do believe this is a harmless thread though so I will post my age @48:-)
