(Over three years on this board, and people don’t recognise me as a regular - sheesh. I should visit MPSIMS more often). (OK, so two of those three years I lived in New York. Got a problem with that?) ---

I’m a Canadian, but I only live there half the year. The other half of the year I live in Yemen and I only ever post from there. ---

On a related note, are there any Amish people on the board? **Ice Wolf** you’re not “tireless” enough 🙂 I think there’s a fair few NZers, though not all of them are posting from NZ. ---

So sad that this should be my first post. But Denmark! Don’t forget Denmark! I know of at least a few on this board. ---

Yep DRC (although at one time several years ago, she did live in Brazzaville). Now if we could get our brother to post (he’s in Nairobi, but should be in the Southern Sudan next year), Africa could really be in the pink! ---

**Grousser** ’s location field is Veracruz, Mexico. That should take care of one of the larger “white spaces”. ---

Have added Mexico. Who’s in the West Bank then… is it our settler friend? ---

**jjimm** , great job on the map… Just wondering, though, you coloured in Turkey on the European map, but not on the Asian one. What does it mean? I mean, _what does it mean, **jjimm** _??! Now, if we really want to stretch things, with a little help from my extraordinary gift for remembering trivial and useless stuff, I give you: [The Pakistani Guy](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=99885), **Prof. Dumbledore** himself. However, it should be noted he hasn’t posted in over a year. ---

I just noticed that we seem indeed to have at least one Belgian member beside Aldebaran, who was considered doubtful: **Short Guy** (see his location in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=218419)). And **elfje** is belgian, but she lives in Ireland. ---

And **jjimm** , great work with the maps, but shouldn’t Switzerland be pink as well? Or is this your political statement on the recent election? 😉 ---

I thought Switzerland had been added to the list by accident. Do we have a Swiss Doper (it’s not you, is it…)? Get back to me and I’ll add it. Will also add Belgium. ---

It’s not me, no. I just assumed **Ringo** would be above mistakes. 🙂 And now I think about it, **Insecta** is from Zürich, Switzerland, according to her Location field. BTW wasn’t Belgium already added? ---

**Greg Charles** lists his location as "Ho Chi Minh City, **Vietnam"**. He posted to an IMHO thread yesterday, so is definitely an active SDMB member.
