That bit is true. I'm in England, and I think you are a nobody.

Yes I did. What about that deserves the astonishment of the "!!!"
suffix? I visit your sites a lot; I find them hilarious. I asked
if Cambridge (where I am) showed up on your radar, and suggested
that I'd probably show up under another reginal centre (London at
the#time, but now more likely Birmingham) due to the structure of
ADSL distribution point routing.

What a strange conclusion. I never said that. I just asked if
Cambridge showed up, while guessing that my statistics would be
swallowed up by London.

You then jumped to this wild conclusion.

Tha above makes very little sense. It sounds like drunken rambling.

London is a big internet routing hub. You'll get many hits from
folks all around the UK appearing to post from London.
