Say, "a thirtysomething parrot-and-scooter-loving archaeologist from London, a Phillipine teenager studying in Sydney, a lawyer from... (?), an Australian vocalist in New York, a (semi?)professional runner from England"... ack, I cannot really think of people's exact fact-files right now, am too tired. But you get what I mean... an assembly of the most wildly different people around here...
Good idea Melusine. Not forgetting the teachers and the doctors, US soldiers overseas. Husband and wives and children. And the high standard of education and communication from our members who actually are spotty 15-year-old boys! Far from being isolationist, they are communicating with and learning about people, politics, religion and life from all over the world.
