I just need to clarify that the 'Distant Spark' usergroup doesn't mean I will be promoting our forum as being open to long-distance foreigners - it just means that if for some reason we get someone wanting to join here, I wouldn't block them. They'd join, and if we don't hear from them within a month (like every other previous long-distance member), they'd be purged. We've never been inundated by long-distance applicants, so there's no need for negative publicity over an issue that doesn't appear to have much of an impact here.
