Yike, what was that last post all about and where did it come from?:rotfl:

Let's make one thing clear here. Some seem to be under the impression that Spanish people are somewhere on the fringes and that a Spanish mod is somehow beyond the pale. Lets set that straight. According to Alexia, and they're not perfect but pretty darn good, here is the rank of countries represented in SUBSIM traffic.

Subsim.com users come from these countries:
United States34.0%
Switzerland10.1%
Germany8.9%
Russia6.3%
Spain5.1%
United Kingdom3.1%
Poland3.0%
Netherlands2.8%
Argentina2.2%
Albania2.2%
Finland2.1%
Canada1.7%
Australia1.5%
Czech Republic1.0%
Brazil1.0%
Belgium1.0%
Greece0.9%
Mexico0.9%
France0.8%
Indonesia0.7%
Romania0.6%
Croatia0.5%
Other countries9.6%

Where is Spain compared to Great Britain? Australia? Finland? France? In all the nations of the world, Spain is #5 on SUBSIM! Yet CA-24F is the first Spanish mod to be represented here. If you add Argentina and Mexico, over 8.2% of the people in SUBSIM speak spanish (Mexican is sort of spanish, heck if they count, Brazil counts because they can understand each other). I'd say more spanish language translations of mods would be extremely appropriate.

And what's that with Switzerland as #2? What a total surprise! Where in hades are the Swiss mods???? Bring 'em on!

From an American viewpoint, although the first settlement in what later became the US was French at Fort Caroline, the second, and first permanent settlement was St Augustine, Florida in 1565. The first St Augustine settlers were grandfathers and grandmothers before the settlement of Jamestown in 1607. Did I mention that they spoke Spanish?
