Even if that is true, it in no way entails that none of them expired
while you were making your last post. You may understand the
dictionary definition of "median" (we know how fond you are of your
dictionaries), but you've obviously not mastered the logic of the
term.


I suppose someone could have died while making the post, but if we are going
to count car accidents and heart attacks, then any medium, be it the
Internet, WiMax, Radio, TV or talking books could have lost a few users in
that time span. Statistically, such occurrences are irrelevant, particularly
if you are looking at the audience of 75 radio stations, and a weekly
audience approaching 12 million.

The median age, that point where half our listeners are younger and half are
older (which is all a median point indicates) is about 33 years of age. The
bulk are in 18 to 49, with very few, as a percentage, younger or older.
Consequently, very few would have died either of old age or, for that
matter, crib death.
