   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
