It's quite nice to see such a quick, lively reaction to a humble beginning such as my own - I take it purely as a sign of wonderful things to come.
I have been navigating here and there on the h2g2 site, and it is absolutely incredible so far...though I must say I do wonder at the makeup of the Guide researchers from a geographic standpoint. As I look up on the web browser address screen, instincts obvoiusly tell me that most of the folks on a BBC website aren't going to be Lithuanians by and large...but I digress. Is there a way of looking into the geographic spread of my fellow researchers?
I am from the town of Springfield, Missouri, in the United States. And while that might classify me as a "yank" to most clear-thinking members of the United Kingdom, I assure you that Missouri fought on the side of the Confederates during the period which we like to oxymoronically call the Civil War, and "yanks" would be a most atrocious insult to a large number of inbred, overall-wearing lads and lasses roaming about the various hillsides and valleys. But I digress once again, having not fought in our Civil War nor having had a stake in its outcome.
Anyway -- I thank you for being the first person from Wolverhampton to address me so kindly, and I hope to be able to live up to what I've seen of the Guide so far.
Regards,

Hi #202044, nice to here from you,
We cannot tell makeup of the Guide reseacheres,as most of them are anonyms,but we have had a guess. and we think it is 50% from the UK, of the rest it is about 50% from the US and the rest are made up from the other countrys,
I know you like your number as you nick name but can I sergest that you change it to #202044 or Mr202044 or something like that, the only reason I serjest it,is that you will get a lot of helpfull people that think you dont know how to change it and they will keep telling you about it ( all trying to be help full of corse, )
if there is anything else I can help you with just yell

There were many European researchers who left when Aunty Beeb took over h2g2. Have a look @ A660313 Regional Researchers' Groups.
