I mean that no country has a majority of the users hitting HN. In terms of posting comments it's a bit more than 50% from the US.

The point, though, is that people coming here are coming from many different countries, so opinion is more divided than it would be from just one. There aren't only political and ideological divides, but national, cultural, and linguistic ones. Understandably—because the information isn't available—people don't take this into account. That unfortunately leads to a lot of misunderstanding and even ill will.

It is heartening to know you do gather information of this granularity.

Why not make it available?

where HN community are based

A vague question

The numbers depend on how you measure 'user' and 'location'

Gets a vague answer.

My question was specifically about the commentariat not eyeballs.

I don't think myself as worthy of an answer specifically to me. I think it would be for the best benefit of others if not buried in some obscure thread.
