It's NEW ZEALAND, I hasten to correct you, and I suspect the others
may as well. We're down by Australia for those of you without geography
knowledge. :-) . (Named by a Dutchman too, Gurth!)

I knew that -- I live in the province of the Netherlands that gave New
Zealand its name in the first place! :)

Sorry chummer mayor typo here :). I know who named it and where it
is, only how do you call the people living there? New Zealanders?

BTW, and it wasn't Gurth who posted this :).

Did the post get mangled or something? I only recieved a piece of the
beginning and some pieces of the rest. Ah well just to be sure:
New Zealand 3
Norway 1
South Africa 2
Sweden 2
America 115
Unknown 16

The unknown are .net locations and are mostly American with a couple
of Brits and one Dutchman (yep, that's me :)

Sorry if this is double.

Yep New Zealanders, or Kiwis (after a native flightless bird that is our
national animal, not after the fruit :)

Sorry, I quoted back Cugel the Clever's stats without acknowledging him (I
humbly apologize), and just quoted down to my own - misspelled - country.
Here's the whole post if you want it:


>From the listserv command "review shadowrn by country":
We've got:
One guy from Argentina;
nine Australians;
eleven Canadians;
three Danes;
two French;
fifteen Germans;
twelve Brits (with a couple of Scots and Welsh between them);
three Greeks;
two Hungarians;
one Italian (hey, Paolo, you're the only one left! :);
two Japanese;
one Korean;
four Dutch;
three guys from New Sealand (New Sealanders (sp?);
one Norwegian;
two South Africans (but one of them is saying he's Welsh... :);
two Swedes;
one hunderd and fifteen Americans;
four concealed dudes or dudettes (Is that you there lurking, Rye? :| );
and sixteen ???, mostly .NET adresses of which at least most of them
are American, a couple are Brits and one of them is Dutch (yep that's
me :)

Totaling to 209 members from nineteen countries.

So, that should take care of the "I'm from here or there" posts :)

Told you I'm a compulsory statistician :)
