The Cellar - An American Place?

I am one of the Americans who has seen what you are trying to say. There is no difference in opinion, because the original observation isn't debatable--it can demonstrated by raw data, i.e. a greater number of American posters.

Now, putting that first-level, blatantly obvious aspect of the conversation to the side, there is the matter of what does this actually mean, in real-life terms?

You suggest that a person's nationality/geographical location should cause them to feel a distinct separateness, of all places on an INTERNET site (which has no geographical constraints)! This makes smoke come out of my ears. You're focused on the OLD model of human interaction. That isn't how things are done anymore.

If you feel out of place, on the internet, because of where you are physically at, then all I can say is "You're doing it wrong."
