No no, I didn't ask for names or email addresses of subscribers,
I was just curious how many members we have and where they're from.
Wow, almost 500 already! Maybe that is something to be mentioned at
the A-site too, especially when we reach that number.
I guess the USA will have most members, followed by the UK and the
Netherlands maybe?

Hi, Ingmar!

I know you didn't ask for that specifically, but I get this question from
folks once in a while, and this was an opportunity to mention it.

It is, under "Reflections."

> I guess the USA will have most members, followed by the UK and the
> Netherlands maybe?

Yes, my rough estimate of the "top" is this:

   (1) USA
   (2) Netherlands
   (3) United Kingdom
   (4) Belgium
   (4) Germany
   (5) Canada
   (6) Australia
   (7) South Africa
   (8) Brazil

We also have a fair number of members from the following: Argentina,
Austria, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, India,
Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan,
Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, and one or two members
each in a whole bunch of other countries, including more recent additions
like Bangladesh, Belarus, Bhutan, Chad, Georgia, Malaysia, Mauricius,
Moldova, Nepal, Netherlands Antilles, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Tansania, Tonga,
Tunesia and Turkey.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
