But I want to add one more comment - and perhaps this is the most
important.

Being on a true native language and/or region based list is more then
just an address change, it is a different attitude - on the
international lists one is always less familial. One anecdotal example:
On the international lists Florian is Florian on the De lists he is Flo.
Which is IMO how human nature works.

That is not, I suppose, of issue with regards to a link from what is
correctly described as the International site. 

The only problem IMO is that there are not lists for au or a nz or uk or
some grouping of those.

Thanks

Drew
