I’m on there. I swear I put my pin in SC but apparently it seems to think I live in NC instead. Ah well, close enough! ---

Hmm, this could get a little competitive. As already noted, with each new entry one can knock an extant Doper off the map. If we do it deliberately, we can sway the displayed distribution of Dopers around the world… Aussie and New Zealanders: soon, when the 'Merkins go to sleep, we sneak in and take over the world (well, a certain depiction of it anyway). The map will be ours! Mwah haha! ---
