Hello,
I have been asked to give a breakdown on who makes up this forum.
Seeing as we are now moving towards the end of the (northern hemisphere)
academic year and there have been some changes in the list administrators,
it seems as good a time as any to do this.
As of Friday there were some 563 subscribers.
This figure seems to fluctuate between about 550 and 600.
The vast majority are based in the UK - but this is not unexpected given
the genesis and history of the group.
More than 350 subscribers have UK academic email addresses - from 84
different institutions. The institutions with highest representation
include Sheffield (17), Bristol, Newcastle (15), Cambridge (14),
Birmingham, Durham (12) and Oxford (10). However, it is recognised that
each of the London colleges have separate email domains and thus there is
another large concentration there.
Another 20 members have non-academic UK addresses.
North American subscribers make up at least 56 of our number (35 in the
USA and 21 in Canada). There are only 4 Latin American members (3 from
Brazil and 1 Nicaraguan).
The 50 European members come from 18 different countries, including 12
from Germany. Countries covered range from Sweden to Spain, Eire to
Hungary and Israel.
Africa is a continent where we have only a small voice - with 3 members
from South Africa.
Asia also has limited representation - 14 members including a group of 5
from Singapore and 7 from Japan with Korea and India providing the other 2
members.
Oceania is represented by 8 Australians and 5 New Zealanders.
There are also at least 28 subscribers whose email addresses give no
definitive locational information, e.g hotmail.com, yahoo.com, etc.
For those of you changing or leaving email addresses, please remember to
unsubscribe at your current address and then re-subscribe from your new
address. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to contact
me.

au revoir
