I'll mentally add a vote for Scotland for you. I understand your pride.
Heh... thank you, DG! Just thought I'd add my own little pantomime to the floor show.

Yes it is......consider the population difference.

Either we don't read, or just don't care as much.

I'm a little late to the game but I finally logged into MR and saw DG's plea so I voted for Canada. I'm from the West side, close to the water. Sooo happy that our early snow fall is over and we are back to our normally scheduled rain storms again.

That's very sad Justy. The Canadian poll should have been closed. Please ask one of the Mods to change your vote to the US. The last Canadian didn't ask to have it changed to the US and is now working in a coal fired boiler room shoveling coal.

An industrious people, the Dutch. They have no time for silly things...

Hehehe, it's good to know that everyone is treated the same even if they stay away from the Llounge for months at a time. I think I'll take my chances and keep my vote for Canada.

You know, dgma, I think the only way you're gonna get the Americans ahead is to have Alex add one of those geolocation thingies like the book stores use. That'll automatically count where people come from (unless they use one of those nasty VPN thingies to defeat the book stores ). I have no doubt there are more Americans on MR than anywhere else; I guess they are just too busy reading to come to the llounge.
