Just fitting that the person who started this game got the 1000'th post.

I did a little analysis on the answers, just in case anyone is interested....

In the first 1000 posts, we had....

171 places starting with 'a'
107 starting with 'e'
102 with 'n'
72 with 's'
65 with 'y'
53 with 'o'
44 with 't'
37 with 'k'
36 with 'i'
35 with 'r'
29 with 'h'
22 with 'm'
21 with 'l'
20 with 'u'
17 with 'g'
10 with 'p'
8 with 'x'
7 with 'w'
6 with 'c'
5 with 'd'
3 with 'f'
2 for both 'v' and 'z'

and we are yet to get any starting with b, j or q, so the challenge is to find a place that ends with one of these three letters.

Now these do not add up to 1000 - we also had a number of repeats, 2 of which were repeated twice, plus we had a number of places that did not follow the rules. Surprisingly, most of these were not picked, or were picked up too late.

Now I look forward to the next 1000

I used "Qatar" once. When I type it into the 'search' process, the Qeography thread shows up. But I can't get it to link to the particular page ... out of all 51 pages.

I'm quessing that is was a response to Iraq.

Very interesting statisitcs -- thanx !

Yazoo (No relation to the band).

(I'm still waiting for a place that starts with "B").
