----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- [NOTE: If you change your mail reader's font to a non-proportional font (like Courier) the columns in this report will line up nicely.-- RBE] 14 Jun 00 Paul Wendt Geographic Distribution of HES Subscribers, 2000-06-01 ------------------------------------------------------ On the quarterly date, 2000-06-01, the HES email list has 577 subscribers. That counts persons, not addresses (some people use two), and incorporates a few other corrections. Here is the current distribution by large regions, countries, and a few institutions. See the quarterly history, 1996 to 1998, on our website at http://eh.net/HisEcSoc/Society/geog.shtml or via our home page (select HES Email List; then Geographical Distribution). CONTENTS: SUBSCRIBERS BY: LARGE REGION (USA, Europe, ...) COUNTRY (USA, France, ...) INSTITUTION (Duke U, U Amsterdam, ...) TECHNICAL NOTES ("USAmerica", "English", ...) =========================== SUBSCRIBERS BY LARGE REGION =========================== These are large and simplistic regions of residence: US America, Europe, Asia (including Turkey and Indonesia), Latin America, and "Commonwealth" (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada). "English" is composed of that "Commonwealth", US America, UK Britain, and Ireland.

Here, eddresses ending {.com .net .org .edu .gov .us .mil} are allocated to country of residence if known (94) or to USAmerica if unknown (16). HES has subscribers in 44 countries, newly this year in Malta, Romania, the Ukraine, and India. Next after USAmerica with 259 subscribers (45%) is France with 34 (6%).

Some real institutions with several subscribers may be overlooked here because of their addressing conventions or because some affiliated persons subscribe from an outside address. Other real institutions without several subscribers may be listed here because former students or workers retain their email accounts. HES has four or more subscribers with email service at these institutions: 7 Duke U USAmerica <<duke.edu> 6 U Amsterdam Netherlands <<uva.nl> 6 Erasmus U Rotterdam Netherlands <<eur.nl> 6 Columbia U USAmerica <<columbia.edu> 6 U Paris 1 France <<univ-paris1.fr> 6 George Mason U USAmerica <<gmu.edu> 4 G"oteborg U Sweden <<gu.se> 4 U Quebec a Montreal Canada <<uqam.ca> 4 U Complutense Madrid Spain <<ucm.es> 4 London School of Econ UKingdom <<lse.uk> 4 U Porto Portugal <<up.pt> 4 U Notre Dame USAmerica <<nd.edu> 4 U Michigan USAmerica <<umich.edu> =============== TECHNICAL NOTES =============== - Each person is counted once, at current residence (or so I guess) for those with two subscriptions. - "US America" counts all persons with addresses ending {.org .com .net .edu .us .gov .mil} EXCEPT where I know that person resides elsewhere --which depends on my memory, efforts, and good fortune. [Since I have asked everyone, it depends mainly on their replies. 16 of 110 are "unknowns" counted as USAmerica --2000-06-14.] - "English" counts persons residing in "US America" as defined here, UKBritain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada. It is a sloppy category in several respects.
