Now, now. It's bad enough I have to put up with my fellow 'Muricuns
thinking <the world> = <the USA>, I don't wanna see otherwise
even-keeled and right-thinking Ozzies buying into that twaddle
too. :)
As far as .loc.au.* catching .loc.us.* in numbers...aim high!
Only ~2500 posts away! But you'll have to do a lot of jawing
to reach it. Why not consider your victory in quality, not
quantity? Just keep in mind the magical relational:
[# AUposts] x AU[signal/noise] > [# USposts] x US[signal/noise]
(And no cracks about "wow, we won years ago!" :P )
It is worth noting, however, that the .loc hierarchy has all
other top-level classes beat by almost 20% in numbers of posts.
Don't expect .loc.uk to take this one lying down, though. In
about three hours, I expect they'll liven up considerably...;)
all best
