[QUOTE=cazzle] Another Aussie. Whatever happened to Goo, Reprise and Redboss? Anyway, although some of us have moved on, lately it seems like there’s more of us moving in which is good to see. [/QUOTE] **Goo** still posts on my board, but under a different name. She’s an infrequent but kinda loyal poster, and I think has lapsed here. **Redboss** disappeared a couple of years ago, citing “real life intervening”, and has completely gone from any online circles I move in. **Reprise** is also out of the SDMB and associated boards (as far as I know) although she popped by my board briefly maybe six months ago. You might find her on the ABC Australia forums - I know she used to post there, but no idea if she still does. ---

Yet another UK resident born and bred. Stow is in the centre of the Stratford/Cheltenham/Oxford triangle. Geograpically the closest member to me is probably **jjimm**. I once met **Francesca** and **AlexB** but I haven’t seen them around here for a while. That may be because I hadn’t been around for a while until May this year. Or they just don’t post anymore. ---

Norfolk, England. That’s the northern half of the sticky-out bit just north of London - I’m about 100 miles roughly ENE of London. I’ve no idea whether the friend who first pointed me over here is a Doper himself, and I don’t knowingly know any others. ---

[QUOTE=Nava] I’m from Spain, currently living in Spain. Don’t know any other Dopers from Spain but I kind of feel like waving when I see people from Hispanic countries or Frenchies (we yell at each other a lot but that’s mostly because we’re close - plus they insist in eating the cheese first). [/QUOTE] **Red fury** is from Spain ( I think he lived in the U.S. for many years but is back in the Homeland). As \*\*PriceGuy \*\* said - Swede from Sweden. ---

Since things are slowing down and since I have sorted the posts enough to provide a summary, here’s where things stand after 90 posts. I chose to ignore the relocated “aliens” as far as original country is concerned: current country is what I focused on. USA posters were also ignored, as were the relocated “aliens” now in the USA. Hopefully the groupings will make some sense, but I have chosen not to run totals, so you can form your own opinions about where most folks are. Looks like the majority of non-USA people are in: 1. Canada 2. UK/British Isles 3. Australia/New Zealand 4. Europe 5. Central/South America (includes Mexico) 6.
