Demography.

"The OSR is a tiny niche. The main bulk of its followers largely middle-aged and not getting any younger."

So says one of my valued commenters, and this brings me back to something I've been pondering (and meaning to post on) for some time.

Who is the OSR precisely? The quote heading up this entry very well sums up the common understanding: We are "largely middle-aged and not getting any younger."

I myself am 31 years old. I consider myself to be in the prime of my life; Not a young man, but significantly short of middle age.

Has there been any comprehensive systematic effort to really quantify the demographics of the OSR? If not, how could this be accomplished?
