(Uber-vanity): Need FReeper help in showing global reach of internet/this site

Greetings from... ^ | 4/4/04 | marty_fierro

OK, I have a special request for FReepers far and wide (especially far).

Over the next 30 days I need to show how the Internet, and specifically this site, reaches all around the world (don't ask; it's a long story).

To that end, I'd ask that FReepers print out the below graphic and take a (digital) photo of it with a recognizable landmark in the background. It doesn't matter if you appear in the photo or not. Please print the location's name in large letters on the blank line:

(Right-click on the image and choose "Save image")

Then e-mail the image to lhurker{at}yahoo.com

In 30 days I'll post the results.

THANKS!!

Indeed! I'll try to get my hands on a digital camera and send you a "Greetings from Poitiers".

Hi all;

Well, it's been 30 days since I posted this and I wanted to follow up.

I got a few e-mailed photo responses to my request (below), but not as many as I'd hoped.

Thanks, Meekie!

Poitiers, France. Merci, Yves!

OTOH, the visitor logs and other suggestions for proving the reach of this site and the diversity of its users should be dispositive. Thanks to all for posting them.

I'm not convinced that the Lib in question will honor his losing this bet. But I've donated $50 to FR today anyway.

THANKS AGAIN!

Marty
