Is it just me, or are American's a minority on this site?  It seems like it's mostly Europeans, Canadians, and Australians.  Am I all alone!  Huh?

I think it was deliberately spelt wrongly.  Also, I think there are lots of Americans on the site who don't usually post.

Sorry about the typo's my Spell Checker doesn't translate very well and my clumbsy fingers stumble over this keyboard - I was just trying to be "clever."  Being from New Jersey, USA (GSP exit #105 btw) a lot of foreign meeple assume that I must be half Italian and personnally know the Soprano's, but I'm actually 1/4 German, 1/4 Irish, 1/4 English, and a 1/5 of Scotch.  My High School Latin and French has long since been forgotten, but the U.S. Army sent me to Weisbaden Germany for three years (76-79) where I met and married my first wife, so I did try real hard to learn some of the language.  After that I also lived near Lancaster, PA for five years (82-87), but the only meeple who spoke Dutch were the Amish Farmers.  I was tempted to mimick one of President John F. Kennedy's famous quotations by saying: "Ich bien kein Berliner, ich bein eine Amerikaner" (roughly translated as "I am not a jelly-donut, I am a cup-cake).  Now aren't you glad that I didn't?

My sister lives in that area.  I like it there.  I'm originally from NEPA.
