Poll by Email No. 18

        Well, after the whole "Conlangers are evil culture vultures," I was tempted
to make a poll defining your role in the Conlang Conspiracy (Cabal? And
what's the Japanese word--starts with a "k"--that means a "business cabal" or
something like that?), but good taste prevailed, much to my disappointment.
        However, the poll question I was intending to use (before this all started)
happens to fit in nicely with Ms. Gunn's accusation that we're all 'Mercians.
(Coincidence, I swear.) I was going to ask, "Where are you from?" but then
people like Christophe would go bananas with that one. So, I shall be more
specific: where is your citizenship? (For people with dual-citizenship, pick
the country that you are living in now, of if you don't have citizenship in
_that_ country, pick the country that you would prefer to live in. Gaa--see
what hurdles you people make me go through?)
        I am a citizen of:
        A. A country in Western Europe.
        B. A country in Central Europe.
        C. A country in Eastern Europe.
        D. A country in the Middle East.
        E. A country in the Far East.
        F. A country in North Africa.
        G. A country in Sub-Saharan African.
        H. A country in the Austronesian/South Pacific region.
        I. A country in South America.
        J. A country in Central America.
        K. A country in North America.
        L. Other.
