Hi,

It has repeatedly come to my attention that the sections of the forum for Australia and Asia have only three posts. In addition, upon reading the posts under the Australian one, there appear to be few people who live in Australia (about two) that post there. I noticed the same thing in the "Asia" section...there appear to be two people who have posted that are from Asia.....and the other two posts refer to the UK....not Asia. This leads into my proposal: that we have a section for the UK, or, generally, Europe. Although there aren't many from the board from Australia and Asia, there do seem to be more from the UK. I just thought of this while replying to a post under Coping With...by someone from the UK. This proposition wouldn't help me, personally, as I live in NYC, but would, I believe help the multiple Europeans on the board.

I've read posts in this section (Technical Help) about there being too many topics underwhich to place posts....and I personally disagree, but in order to limit them, we could also merge Australia with Asia to make one forum since there are only three topics in each, anyway....and many have only 0-2 replies.

I think a section for those in the UK (or elsewhere in Europe) would be helpful because not everything is the same in both places. We know how food manufacturers like to mess things up :P , so a food that is gluten-free here, might not be good in the UK or vice-versa. In addition, there are undoubtedly brands in the UK that you cannot find in the US, or foods in the US that aren't sold in Europe. I think there is an increasing number from the UK on the board (or at least, more than those from Asia and Australia combined). I am not suggesting that we do away with their sections, but that we just alot one section to the UK....this site is the best resource for those in the US, and we can easily make it great for those in Europe, as well. I would not have brought this up otherwise, but I've noticed that the Australia/Asia sections don't have many posts....I think a Europe/UK section would have at least more posts than those.

One more thing, that I'm coming back to add (edit): Like I said, this section would not help Americans, such as myself, so I think it's important if Europeans want it...if they wouldn't find it helpful, it's pointless. In addition, Scott needs to express his approval :) ...he'd be the one adding the section and he's the one who runs the board.
