    Please accept my apologies for being an Australian whose location is currently the US (being that I am physically in the US right now.)

    Of those stats it would be interesting to see how the numbers change if you take into account recent online activity, say, have logged in within the last fortnight.

    There are >2400 Australians and only 13 have karma at all! :open_mouth:

    @OzVisitor "how the numbers change if you take into account recent online activity" -- I was interested in that too (how recent people's activity is), but it's hard to get that info the way I'm doing it.

    @OzVisitor "only 13 have karma at all" -- half of that karma is to/from me :) . I would encourage people to leave more karma, since it's useful and very interesting ...

    Yes, I wish people would leave karma. I don’t understand why some people don’t. I believe it all helps establish trust, as well as the community.

    Though, disappointingly, I think it also speaks to the inactivity of the Australian user base. I have certainly not found it easy to get a response in my own country.

    @OzVisitor I suspect people generally just give and receive karma when they cuddle professionals. And most of the pros I've talked to in Australia haven't had very many (professional) cuddles ... it isn't well known here!

  • I'm moving to the North island of New Zealand.

  • Nice work @respectful - this is really interesting stuff. Are you planning to do something similar for other parts of the world? (I'm a fairly recent joiner, so maybe you have already. I'll search...)
