Gah! Why does this matter? ?? No offense, LLP, I think you are great. But these stat things really bug me. Asking a few people who self-select by answering questions online is in no way a scientific sample--it means nothing! And why the constant desire to find trends? It seems pretty clear that we are all really different. If the ultimate question is really, "why are we devotees?" I don't think there will ever be a conclusive answer. Are you really trying to imply that first-borns or only children become devotees? Then why aren't there millions of us? Think about it: a majority of members on this board live in the US, followed by England and Canada. Our countries have low birth rates, statistically most people are from families with one or two children. I seriously doubt the percentage of first borns on this site is any different from any other slice of the population.

No it would be ridiculous to imply that all or most or even a significant percentage of first borns and only children become devos. Sometimes this stuff is just interesting to me because I am a complete and total nerd. I just think it's neato when lots of us have something in common. If it bugs ya please feel free to ignore it.
