Are there more collectors/members here born before 1972 rather than after?

It isn't easy to believe 1972 was 50 years ago! It got me thinking... I wonder if most of the members here were born before 1972, or are there many more born afterward?
If you're not comfortable starting the year you were born, I get it, but how about simply stating "before" or "after"?
I am "before"!

I at this point, I have decided that growing up in the 60’s was a lot fun than being in my 60’s.

That very special year.
Probably before but the responses will be skewed because all the pre 1972-ers have gone to bed for the day.
They'll chime in at the crack of dawn tomorrow.
