I'm not much of a stats-whore, but I do like to use such data to see if there are any trends and/or patterns hiding in the figures.
Here is the latest curiosity:
Of the 25 most recent comments left by visitors to this blog, 20 have been left by Scots.
Further analysis reveals that all of the most recent ten comments left by visitors to this blog have been left by Scots.
Now, for every statistical oddity there's usually a rational explanation, so they say. The trouble is, I'm having a hard job finding the correct reason for such a statistical pattern. So far, I've come up with the following possibilities:
- Scots have far too much free time on their hands, and they spend too much of it on the internet;
- Scots are more sociable than other folk, hence they are better at inter-personal communication;
- Scots are highly opinionated and talk too much;
- I write good stuff that only Scots appreciate, stuff that's just goes over the heads of other folk;
- I write drivel that's ignored by all except Scots, who find it to their taste;
- I live in the wrong country.
Looking at the comment-stats in a more local geo-frame, here's the score on a UK basis:
- Scotland 20
- England 5
- Rest of the UK 0
Please feel free to comment on these stats, regardless of your nationality. Maybe you could suggest other reasons?
Anyway, thanks to all who have already left their mark here.
I'm off to delve a bit deeper, to see if the trend goes further back.
