Where are our Researchers From?
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
For quite some time, H2G2 Researchers have been answering the question "Where are you from?" Over a hundred researchers contributed to a thread on this in the Ask H2G2 forum (http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?forum=19585&thread=24173 ). Now I've set up this page to continue the discussion without the long download times we have accumulated over there.
The rules are simple, really. If you'd like to contribute your own information, just go to the "Where are you from?" conversation for this Entry and add your own information. You can interpret the question any way you like. Some Researchers list more than one place, since there is more than one way to interpret the question. For those of us who listed multiple places, I choose the current residence (assuming I can figure out which one that is), unless the researcher emphatically specifies some other city as home.
I try to collect all the information from this thread, and I'll revisit the old thread if I like. You can increase your chances of actually being counted by posting to the end of the new thread, though.
I also keep a spiffy and pointless pie chart of these results over at my own web site, at http://www.larkfarm.com/h2g2.htm . Come visit and see. As a bonus, you can find out how to sign up for the strictly-unofficial H2G2 mailing list there as well.
And now (drum roll, please) the current summary of Researcher residences:
