Thank your for propagating the image of the ignorant, ugly, parochial, self-centered American. As if we didn't need any more compelling evidence.
Wolf can correct me if I'm wrong; but, I took her above quoted statement to mean that if there is presently an international topic that someone would like to generate a discussion on in the Cellar, they should not hesitate to do so in the existing subject related forums. I really didn't get the impression that wolf was belittling international topics.

Our media regularly breaks news topics down for consumers into international, national, and local news and that works well for the initial presentation of information. When specific information is singled out for elaboration and/or discussion, it is not so important to categorize it that way. I wouldn't expect placement of a thread into a forum titled "International" to draw more hits to it for that reason; unless, multiple languages were involved.

OTOH, International Nothingland has kind of a nice ring to it reminiscent of IHOP.
