If you don't want people to know your age...

[Doug Grossman]

No, it actually doesn't tell someone's age for certain. Far from that, actually.

It might have nothing to do with age, birth year, or anything at all, and can actually be part of someone's address, zip code, phone number, significant date in their life, something having to do with their children or their spouse or their parents, etc., as evidenced by my other examples and e-mails from others.
