BiblioCat: > [@](#): > > You left Maryland off the list completely. And me. Again…I wasn’t trying to post a complete list of all dopers and all states that had been named…I was just responding to **SF** ’s post about what states **were missing** from his list. He’s the one “keeping track”. I went on a hunt for the missing states. Instead of posting “yay, I found Dopers in those states”…I posted the proof (so no one would ask for a cite - lol!)! I didn’t leave anyone out - - I was answering a specific question. See? I’m sorry if I’m not explaining myself well - - I thought my last explanation was clear. ☹ Gah! :eek: 😃 ---

Wow! Thanks for all that, **OY**. No, that’s too weird, like “Oy!”, so I think I’ll just use your whole name from now on. 😃 Still waiting on people from Deleware, Montana, Nevada, the Dakotas, and Utah. I **know** there are Dopers in MT, ND, UT and _possibly_ NV. Not too sure about Deleware, though. Is that still a state? 😉 C’mon guys! **Other Countries** I’m going to leave this list the same. I was thinking of adding **Saudi Arabia** but decided not to until **Paul** comes back and tells me he spends more than one third of his time (in a year) there. That’s the new, completely arbitrary guideline I’ve decided to impose; you must spend more than 4 months in any country/state in order for it to “count” in this thread. I’ll thank you for your cooperation. BECAUSE I SAID SO. Or something. 😃 ---

> [@OneYogini](#): > > I don’t know what you mean about saying WV is a state, **CG** , in response to my posting Dopers from states that **SF** posted as “still looking for”. I know WV is a state. And I didn’t indicate it in my list, because you or someone else had already check in from WV, so no need to include it on my list. (Could you clarify why that would make my info-gathering faulty???) 😃 Well, you said the following at the beginning of that post : > [@](#): > > Okay, I hope this isn’t cheating, but it is, sort of…I’ve gone HOG WILD with this thread! Seriously…I’ve compiled a list (7 pages, single spaced, so far)…I’m bored at work (well, seriously ignoring work to be truthful)…here’s what I’ve found… Which seems to imply this was to be representative of the entire list. so far, not just the omissions. ---

> [@gum](#): > > There are more Dutch dopers, but I’m not sure if there are more “Mokummers”. 🙂 Well, I’m from “Utereg” (that would be the city of Utrecht, in the province Utrecht, in the Netherlands). So I guess that makes me a “stichtse” (from “Sticht” for archdiocese, because Utrecht was the first archdiocese in the Netherlands). So. let’s all sing along: Als ik boven op de dom sta kijk ik even naar benee Dan zie ik het ouwe grachie het vreeburg en wijk C Ja dan sprink me hartsie open ik ben trots wat dachie wat Er is geen mooier plekkie as utereg me stad as utereg me stad ---

**CG** , I can surely see now why you thought that. My post was unclear. I was rambling - because I had gone hog wild - and didn’t clarify that I was only responding “in part” and not posting an entire list. Sorry about that! 😃 I do have a list, it is over 7 pages, single-spaced, and it does have a lot of Dopers and their states…I just counted…294 Dopers; 50 States, 19 countries!! woo hoo! (That’s why I didn’t post a list…294 names…I’m bored at work - but sheesh! I’d be flamed for sure for posting ALL of that info!) I may just have to go buy a map and start putting something together that I can take a digital picture of and share! (If anyone would be interested that is.) I don’t think I can “computer generate” something (don’t know how), but I’d be willing to e-mail a text document to someone who wants the info I’ve gathered. ---

An apology to to **LadyDragon** as well (MUST LEARN TO PREVIEW!!)…I have you and CarniverousPlant on my list (hard copy) under AK…I mistakenly typed in my post AR. AR Dopers (I’ve got 10 so far) include Trublmakr and Chastain86. Sheesh - I’m confusing myself now. I’ll stop. 😃 ---
