How are we distributed over the timezones ?

Where is everyone from ?
What offset from GMT are you sitting in?

I thought it might be interesting to know, if only to understand differences
in presence in the forums. (fora ?)

Mine:

TZ DST Current Place

+1 +2 +2 Brussels, Belgium

Anyone else ?

GMT-7 here (-6 in DST). Salt Lake City, UT.

(Sorry for the duplicate post, used the wrong profile again and didn’t
notice. Fixed for this forum now.)

In the order, that’s:

TZ DST Current Place Name

-7 -6 -6 Salt Lake City (UT), USA Jim Henderson
+1 +2 +2 Hosby, Denmark DenverD
+1 +2 +2 Brussels, Belgium Rikishi 42

That’s all we have, so far.
Is is just my impression, or has the novelty of this forum worn off?

Polls get fewer and fewer responses, it seems.

Welcome to the list!

Do you now I never realised Cleveland was named after a British town?

I first found Cleveland, OH and allmost missed yours is MS. So I looked them
up with Google Earth and found a third US Cleveland, in Michigan and one in
the UK.

Only four people, including me. Not much of a success, this poll. :slight_smile:

PS: Mine’s a Westvleteren 12.
