Israel would do well, but the US would all but disappear.
I've got no problem with Israel doing OK, and...
Hmm. Seconded.

Well done everyone. Sean's going to be earning some major frequent flyer miles here and he's definitely going to be getting some funny looks going through security with the mankini hand-luggage.

I thought his CP staff badge gave him diplomatic immunity at airport security checkpoints.

So, for statistical purposes, is Chris Maunder from Australia or Canada?
Are the statistics by country of origin or country of residence?
But, congrats to all... you've worked hard.

I doubt the MVP spin wheel rotates properly.

I very much doubt that he'll be happy with the word upgraded!
Slogans aren't solutions.

To head off the inevitable queries regarding how MVPs are determined, you should probably cite the FAQ that answers that question.

You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010

I have a theory as to why we only have 5 US MVPs. Most of the questions seem to be asked during the sub-continental day (India, Pakistan, B'desh, etc.) This gives the UK and India based experts more opportunities to answer them than American ones. Just a theory though, not based on any data points.

That's a false statistic. People can still answer questions that have already been answered.
And I wasn't complaining about the "spread", I was just cautioning you to answer the question that will inevitably be asked regarding the way MVP status is calculated.

Yeah, I know, but that may not get as many upvotes. Upvotes get you rep points, which are counted towards the MVP award.

I didn't think you were. I just responded and went in a tangential direction. And well, if anyone asks me how they can become an MVP - well, I guess I can link to the FAQ

I don't know if you know this or not, but you can edit your messages after you submit them the first time.
(I used to be a MVP, so I know these tricks about CP).

I program naked, mainly to avoid the issues of establishing some arbitrary statement regarding fashion and style.

We have members from other countries then the one's you listed?
|
|
|
|
|
Just 1 or 2 each I guess

Be honest: You're American, so the question you really wanted to as was "Do all those other countries you listed really exist?"

Well, most US maps only specify states of the union. The rest of the world is labeled, "Places we are better than".

Ah, Glasshopper, how can you claim to be better than something you do not know exists?

It's not that we don't know they exist, it's that they're not important enough to clutter up an otherwise useful map with the names of "places we're better than".

If they do, they will be destroyed soon!
Americans don't like to complicate their lives by understanding anything besides USA, so to un-complicate things, they just destroy them.
