Hi Janet, Don't take my "math" as a literal exact accounting. That was not the point or intent... Sorry, I didn't convey my message clearly... The "math" I tried to point out was .1% or 1 in a thousand... I guess I should have said.... I get most of my Parkinson's knowledge from interacting with all of you on the list, as I'm sure many, if not most, will readily agree. Before the List I knew zip... now I'm "1 in a thousand" with all of you. For each of us there are "999" others wandering through Parkinson's without the knowledge, care, and support this List provides... Shouldn't we share?? .......................... murray On 16 Mar 00 at 3:46, janet paterson wrote: hi murray the math won't work because the country designations don't really work internet addresses like .com and .net and .edu are counted as usa even though they may not be internet addresses like aol.com [the largest single provider in pieNET by far] and compuserve.com etc. are counted as usa even though they have customers/users around the world it's a conundrum of ethereal dimensions... janette nerdette **************************** At 10:13 PM 2000/03/15 -0500, [log in to unmask] wrote: >Hi All, >Okay, let's "do the math"... >37 countries and 1906 subscribers.... >1680 in these 3 countries - US, Canada, UK [log in to unmask]
