shrug, I did read through all this posts not just one or two.

I'd be willing to bet money he is not from the pink parts of the globe let alone non english speaking countries. I'd put money on Satoshi being american. If the post time stamps are not muddled up his posting was also consistent with a north american time zone.

So much for this bet, there was one thing that niggled me. In one post he writes something or other is "bloody hard". That is almost exclusively something a brit would say in a moment of frustration. Also the forum timestamps in UTC are more consistent with a UK resident who sometimes works early in the morning, but mostly in the afternoon, than american. He typed "realize" etc to blend in with the majority of his audience.
