Btw Luke, my name is “David Thomas”, Glory only called me “Thomas” so as to diffientiate between Mr. Poston and myself.

Luke:  Regarding your ratios, upon what basis is a person considered retired? 

Aaron:  No, this picture is just a random one I took of a place I worked at last summer.  My “deep in thought” picture got lost and I haven't taken the time to make it again.

Grace: 

But there are quite a few quizzers that are attending college, are they considered “retired” while they are yet still quizzing?

No, some of them quiz in AACS just like every one else.  Although most styles end quzzing around the time people start attending college, some do not and allow people to quiz as long as they are able to or wish.

Grace: Unfortunately I must disagree with you.  But only because of the fact that Glory actually does have an account here, she just apparently chooses not to use it.

Okay David, what do you disagree with me on again? Glory and I looking like twins? I just meant that we both had indentical Guest pictures. And what is the meaning of that face you gave me in your third to last post?…………Oops! Gotta go, time for Joy's eighties!

Considering the time of GaceAbekah's post I would think she was talking about Joy's (younger sister) 8 o'clock medications.  But we'll have to wait and see.

Grace:  I'll cover your questions when I finish the other reply.

Wellsbo, I assume that “Thomo Wamo” is me; if it is, would it be to much to ask that you use my proper name (David) instead of the slang?

Anyway, in reply to your post:

I was not just talking about taking a few college classes (although they are included), I did indeed mean a full-time college student, graduated from High School, who is or was quizzing at that time.  Because of the various rules in regards to the actual “cutoff” age, it is entirely possible for a person to graduate, start attending college, and still have a year of two of quizzing left.  Although as I mentioned above, some styles allow quizzing until a person wishes to quit; just at a different level than we normally do.  That is why I asked him to define “retired”; because of this variance in the rules.

It would seem that he defines it as being graduated from High School; in whcih case, I must agree with his original post: that we do indeed outnumber the current quizzers by a considerable amount.

Yes…  A very, very few out of the many quizzers that I know.  It is not an easy task in the slightest.  For them, quizzing is their recreation and that is how they find the time to do both.

Not as good as they could be if they only had quzzing to concentrate on, but I would have to say “yes”.  I'm told that good time management is essential.

So how about the people in Florida who quiz once or twice a year?  Do they count as retired or current?   They still “quiz”, yet…

Are you gonna say that Magic Johnson isn't retired just because he shoots a basketball every once and a while (or probably more than that)? Do elderly guys not every work after they retire? Of course not. I quizzed sometimes last year against my sister, but i'm still a “retired quizzer.”
