I am irrelevant? Thanks! I'm some sort of statistical outlier! ;)

My post was generally for those interested in the success of N. American 
marketing drives - a subject which I've seen debated in this forum. Some 
of my points can be applied more broadly, but not by me.

All of the advice and forums I use are US. I purchase server space in 
the states. I find myself embroiled in US-oriented flame-wars. Australia 
is very exposed to US culture and most Australians openly embrace it.

I actually feel that I know nothing about the European internet culture. 
I rarely get Google search results from Europe (I assume), probably due 
to language, and I am alway surprised to find myself on a UK-flavoured site.

So, when I trawl cmsmatrix.org or opensourcecms.com, and read the 
opinions, I tend to see it from a North American perspective.
