We all know that most Americans take up 2 airline seats but isn't taking up 2 forums pushing it a bit?

Tim Berners-Lee [Internet creator] is an Englishman.

The only time I do it is because I have a question that is directed towards British people. The better question is why so many of the British post on the American one or the Malaysian one or one of the others. If you would look around you'd see this. In all honesty most questions have more to do with language than nationality so I have mine filtered to just read any English questions and ignore things that don't apply to me. I go to different boards all the time- who cares?
You really show your ignorance when you say Tim Berners-Lee invented the Internet. He invented the WORLD WIDE WEB (about 1989), not the INTERNET which was invented by Americans (about 1969). Everywhere I go I see British people that can't get this straight. If you don't believe me look up ARPANET. The web was invented later to help people with the Internet but lots of people had e-mail access back in the early 1980's before the web was around. Before you go off on Americans stealing your forum and taking up two airline seats you might want to grasp the two technologies.

A lot of Questions are Directed on to the UK Forum because of Content not by choice of the Person Asking it. In the same way the reverse happens it depends on the type of Question and European Questions end up on US forum. I like it when this Happens as it gives an American Viewpoint , and someone from either Country Starts Snipeing at each other it is good fun.

And why not? The more the merrier. Why should all the answers come from the boring old British? Lets have a bit of culture.

Your feeble attempt at trying to insult Americans is pathetic at best. It's what one would expect from a narrow minded person like yourself.

Same old, same old. Tolerance is a virtue with which you haven't been blessed. It's said and I do believe it to be correct, our children will grow holding our values in their hearts. Think on.
