I apologize for offending you but not for the remark. At Mark Twain, I have yet to see a man under 80 (one is 97) checking out a western. One woman does check them out but she does so for her husband who is housebound.

I did not say only very elderly men read westerns -- if I thought that, I wouldn't be asking here. Our group really is pretty young, I think (if not in actual age, then in attitude even if they do hate rap). So, I was simply trying to be semi-polite about a very specific group.

BTW -- I sub, so my schedule is pretty varied and I have yet to see an exception to the 80+ rule checking out the westerns. I have seen under 70 donating a few westerns, but not checking them out.
