I'm not accusing them, I am accusing their employers. Don't accuse me of
characterising people when I have said absolutely nothing about anyone. It seems
to me you are just using this thread as an excuse to namedrop.
The Ambassadors program is run by TLC and paid for by TLC, I'm sure if TLC said
concentrate on certain regions they would do so. I know if my workplace was
giving me money to do something and I did something else they wouldn't be happy
and I can only assume the TLC is the same.

I know of plenty of Australian AFOLs on Lugnet. At least a couple of NZers too.
So we are down to a choice of 23 million fluent English speaking people with a
large number of AFOLs, some of whom I'm sure applied.
