We joke about the apparently vast number of Australians who appear here in the forums, but logically we are going to have mostly Americans I suppose. I thought a little poll, Australians, Americans, Brits and the rest of the world - so lets try it.

Where do you fit in the following choices Only one choice allowed (1409 total votes)
American - USA		541 (38%)
Australian		138 (10%)
British - including 'exports' I suppose		312 (22%)
Canadians		124 (9%)
Europe - not UK		149 (11%)
Rest of the world		145 (10%)
Voting on this poll ends: 0 seconds ago

Results so far are amazing, or maybe the expected ones are still asleep? _________________________ Wandering aimlessly through FT since 1999.

Chris1013 Enthusiast Registered: Sat Oct 04 2003 Posts: 406 Loc: SW London England UK	Since only one vote is allowed I voted 'Europe - not UK' (German). This is what I mainly see myself as, although I am very proud to have a bit of Australian in me Edited by Chris1013 (Wed Sep 20 2006 05:12 AM) _________________________ DFB-Cup Winners 2007: 1.FCN!!!

ClaraSue Forum Champion Registered: Sun May 18 2003 Posts: 7842 Loc: Arizona USA	I voted once earlier today, saw the results then left FT for awhile to return later and couldn't see them anymore. In order to see them again, I had to vote again. I don't know if that messed up the totals, though. _________________________ May the tail of the elephant never have to swat the flies from your face.

In order to see them again, I had to vote again. I don't know if that messed up the totals, though. I think the system only allows one vote per IP-address. So if you have a different IP address every time you log in, you can't see the results until you've voted again. Which will mess up the totals, I think. _________________________ The cost of living has not affected its popularity - Loesje

tiffanyram Multiloquent Registered: Tue Jun 13 2006 Posts: 2547 Loc: Tennessee USA	I was a little surprised to see that we Americans have the lead so far in numbers. I knew there were a lot of us but I also thought that the other groups would have it since you 'make more noise.' _________________________ "One language sets you in a corridor for life.
