my name is kemal from ethiopia.c3, incomplete, more than ten yearspost. on this list for more than 4 years. but not a regular contributer. indeed the absense of quads from the poor countries is lack of computers, no internet access and no knowledge . as for the quads from rich countries i think it is indifference.may be they have their own groups and institutions for sharing and support. bye ----- Original Message ----- From: e m treston To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 15, 2009 9:56 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] Where are ALL the quads?

I have been meaning to bring this up for many moons but whenever I think of it I'm not at the computer or going to the computer to ask. Over 99% of the quads who are on this list, and who have been on this list, are from the United States. We have Shahidul Alam from South America. And Peter from the UK. And I think there is one other person that I am currently forgetting? But for all the other civilized countries and with the World Wide Web being in almost everyone's homes now -- I wonder why we never hear from any quads from Japan, Scandinavian Countries, so many European countries and so many more? Japan beats us, and almost every other country, in technology but that still leaves a whole big host of many other countries whereby I'm sure there many many more quads. I got on this list in 1995 but I think Jim started it a little before that. Essentially just a rhetorical question that I have always wanted to bring up. Any thoughts?
