Ok let me step into this one since I just happened across the thread via the web interface. I have no idea what "Mecha" is or are, I see these creations that y'all post to brickshelf and such, but I still don't know what really makes a mecha a (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I agree with Steve some people just aren't into it. I'll stereotype a bit and and say the demographic that ain't into it is a bit older. Is there anybody in the .mecha group that's over 35?
