I'm just interested in the ethnic composition of the fora. Are all of you of Anglo-Saxon stock and my Russian-Jewish heritage with my Russian location is an exception or is that place really bursting with internationalism? I think that piece of trivia would be interesting.

I live in Australia and most of my anestors are from the UK or the USA.

Good question, though, it is interesting to know where in the world everyone is.

I also would find it interesting to know how old people are. I'm 17 and at the moment, I'm thinking I might be the youngest.

I'm 18. I was 13 when I've read my first AC, though.

I'm from Canada, but I have a very strong Polish heritage. I can speak Polish fluently (French too, for that matter) and am very proud of my heritage. I'm more Polish than Canadian, to be honest. I guess that makes us the two Slavic people on the boards!  (Unless someone else is in hiding I'm unaware of.) ;)

I'm also in Australia (Sydney) and am 37 years old. Lone Wolf and Victif make me feel so old!

Ancestors were British and the family came out on the convict boats. Maybe that's why I like British crime books so much???

Hey all. I'm from Brooklyn, NY and have been a fan of Miss Christie's since I was 11 or so. I actually wanted to introduce myself, I've been registered on this site for a while, but never got around to posting anything. So, hello!
