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.

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: 8 Duke U USAmerica <duke.edu> 7 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> 5 London School of Econ UKingdom <lse.uk> 4 U Quebec a Montreal Canada <uqam.ca> 4 U Complutense Madrid Spain <ucm.es> 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. 17 of 112 are "unknowns" counted as USAmerica, 2000-09-09.] - "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. ----Paul Paul Wendt, Watertown MA, USA <[log in to unmask]> Subscriptions manager, HES email list ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
