Diddorol iawn --- Di/ol spe/ise -- Very interesting! Some statistics, comparing current GAELIC-L membership with current WELSH-L membership, according to countries in which our subscribers are located. Figures somewhat distorted, of course, by fact that some addresses not actually in the USA are identified as such, whereas they really belong to staff working in overseas branches of American-owned companies, and also by fact that UK figure does not differentiate betwixt subscribers in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales. Mann (not a part of the UK) does not yet appear to have an e-mail node, although I believe that some linking happens. Geographical distribution changes slightly from day to day, but the general pattern shown by today's figures is fairly indicative of our usual subscribership in recent times. mg * GAELIC Language Bulletin Board * WELSH Language Bulletin Board * * Country Subscribers * Country Subscribers * ------- ----------- * ------- ----------- * Australia 15 * Australia 6 * Austria 2 * Austria 1 * * Belgium 1 * * Brazil 1 * Canada 47 * Canada 13 * Croatia 1 * Croatia 1 * Finland 2 * Finland 1 * France 3 * France 3 * Germany 17 * Germany 5 * Great Britain 70 * Great Britain 76 * Iceland 1 * * Ireland 54 * Ireland 4 * Israel 1 * * * Italy 1 * Japan 1 * Japan 2 * Netherlands 4 * * New Zealand 6 * New Zealand 1 * Norway 2 * Norway 1 * Poland 4 * Poland 1 * * Saudi-Arabia 2 * Slovakia 1 * * South Africa 1 * South Africa 1 * Spain 1 * Spain 1 * Sweden 7 * * Switzerland 1 * * USA 445 * USA 220 * ??? 9 * * Total number of subscribers: 700 * Total number of subscribers: 346 MGUNN@IRLEARN.UCD.IE
