The two groups, in a nutshell: grandsons and grandpas.
Or, the official EVE/LUG song (sung by Bette Davis in the movie):

They're either too young, or too old,
They're either too gray or too grassy green,
The pickings are poor and the crop is lean.
What's good is in the army,
What's left will never harm me.

They're either too old or too young, 
So, darling, you'll never get stung. 
Tomorrow I'll go hiking with that Eagle Scout unless, 
I get a call from grandpa for a snappy game of chess.

I'll never, never fail ya, 
While you are in Australia, 
Or off among the Rooshians, 
And flying over Egypt. 
Your heart will never be gypped, 
And when you get to India, 
I'll still be what I've been to ya. 
I've looked the field over 
And lo and behold! 
They're either too young or too old!

They're either too bald or too bold, 
I'm down to the wheelchair and bassinet, 
My heart just refuses to get upset. 
I simply can't compel it to, 
With no Marine to tell it to.

I'm either their first breath of spring, 
Or else, I'm their last little fling. 
I either get a fossil or an adolescent pup, 
I either have to hold him off, 
Or have to hold him up. 
The battle is on, but the fortress will hold, 
They're either too young or too old.

About 76 of you filled in the online survey I posted in connection with 
my son's school project--many thanks!

We have now tabulated the results for both the LUG and the online gaming 
forum EVE, and you can see the graphs at:
http://www.photodeluge.com/graphs_proj.htm

The results are what they are--not surprisingly, both groups are 
overwhelmingly male, and the average LUGger is much older than the gamer 
community. More than half of all respondents reported meeting people in 
person whom they first met online, so human contact does not entirely 
disappear. Among the gamers there are a bunch of "pale-faced geeks" who 
spend many hours per day playing online.

Once again, thanks to all who responded and thereby helped out my 
15-year old son.

Nathan
