Wow, and most acquiesce in accepting Michael S as our cultural dude? Obedience and conformity indeed. Gary
Gerald L. (Gary) Peterson, Ph.D. Professor, Psychology Saginaw Valley State University University Center, MI 48710 989-964-4491 [email protected] >>> "Bill Southerly" <[email protected]> 12/20/2008 5:38 pm >>> Stephen, Now that I have completed grading my final exams, your comment "his joining helping to make this a truly international list" gave me an excuse to review the extent of our international membership beyond the U.S and Canada that I have not done for a few years. Though all I can use are the email extensions to determine the country domain being used and not the origin of the country of the user, but based on my personal exchanges with international subscribers I knew it has been fairly extensive over the many years TIPS has been around. Here are the list of countries from the domains of the email addresses other than the U.S. and Canada: Paraguay Peru Argentina Guatemala Australia New Zealand China Singapore Israel South Africa United Kingdom Portugal Ireland Germany The Netherlands Belgium Iceland Poland Italy Switzerland Spain Estonia My apologies to any subscriber if I missed a country (please let me know) or respond to the list. Happy holidays, Bill Bill Southerly Department of Psychology Frostburg State University Frostburg, MD 21532 301-687-4778 [email protected] _____________________________ Following our discussion of the mystery of the message in Dutch, I took the bold step of writing directly to our correspondent, Dr. Hans van de Sande. He promptly provided a cordial reply which, with his permission, I'm sending on to the list. As I had guessed, he is a member of TIPS, and this message was sent out by accident to us, but as he notes, he doesn't know how it happened. I did assure him that he should not feel "severely reprimanded", as his e- mail caused us only a little amusement and curiosity, certainly not concern. He also asked me to extend his good wishes for a merry Christmas and happy new year to all TIPsters. In return, I'd like to welcome him to TIPS, his joining helping to make this a truly international list. (It's not that I don't love Americans, it's just that there are so many of you).
