Saw a post that PG's account is 10 years old. So was wondering about the distribution of users joining in.

PS: Mine is 3510 days old. ;-)

This seems like a question you could answer without user input by scraping HN threads and extracting the info from the profile pages, since the exact metric you're looking for is under the "created" key on those pages.

It would also remove any possible response and selection biases.
