Flint, unless you are frequenting international boards where English is not the main language, you are statistically likely to be on one where Americans are the mainstay of the board.

My introduction to internet communities was a place filled with (English-speaking) Aussies, Cannucks, Kiwis, Brits, and fluent English speakers from all corners of the globe. English speakers are everywhere, and I'll remind you that it isn't an "American" language.

The numbers will be skewed towards Americans because we have a larger population, that's all.

To say that a place is an "American" board sounds like a description of its character, not a statistical analysis.

I don't think we can continue to indulge national characteristics as an important element of human interaction. That part of history is dying away, this is the future. We're all here together.

There is one human race. This is a HUMAN board.
