It depends on the person, but I think like Ishida...only in the opposite way. A person's posts are influenced by life experience and if they are lacking life experience, it often shows. I can often tell if someone is young (under 25) by what they post...sometimes in a way that makes me shake my head and think "I used to think like that too when I was younger" or "you'll understand when you get older." The 2nd thought is kind of condescending, so I wouldn't say/type that to a poster, but I do think it. Some young posters are naive due to lack of experience, which is perfectly normal. And I feel I connect better, oftentimes, with older posters.
However, I don't assume that because someone is younger that they are naive or are not to be taken seriously. Its just obvious sometimes how connected their age is to their posts. There are some young people who regularly post here, though, who generally come across as mature and their age doesn't really mean anything to me.

I'd expect a Southerner in his mid 30's to say that.Gosh y'all are so politically correct.
I'd expect an Easterner in his mid 30's to say that.
AGe does effect how I see a poster sometimes, but I find myself regarding a posters location as just as important sometimes. e.g. different attitudes on various political social issues having a lot more/less support in their region.

That's pretty much my opinion on it.
Sometimes I'll read a post and I'll be likethen I'll notice the age of the poster and I'm like "oh, ok, that explains it."
Also, sometimes I'll read a post and think "wow! That's really wise" and then I notice the age and am surprised because the person is a lot younger than I would have guessed.
And.... sometimes I'm surprised that an immature (IMO) post was posted by someone who is older than me.
