Yeah, I'm the bravest man here!

I don't think so
I believe Doug Marker still qualifies as "most out of range." Of course if we're talking about being out of operating range (as in "out of spec") then we could pick any of several of the politics forum regulars.

I may be remembering wrong, but doesn't Doug have...
...someone (Altmann?) just next door from HK, in .tw?
No, I don't really know how "next door" that is -- Hey, I'm only *fairly* sure that our Oz (and Kiwi?) friends are further away from him than I am from our Brits, Belgians, and Italians... But if we *do* have a regular on Formosa, and if that *is* closer to Kowloon than I am to the Continentals, then I *am* "most out of range"...
Geographically, too.

Weighted average or nearest neighbor?
I have this sudden urge to plot locations on a 3D model ...

Are you thinking about my brother?

Taiwan connection...
IIRC there was another Chris (with a last name that begins with R) from Taiwain, that came over from the original infoworld forums. Haven't seen him post in a while though.

It's hard to define, really.
I do know that geographically opposite where I an Meerkat are in Oz is the North Sea. More or less. And then there's bluke in, IIRC, Israel. Not sure if that's far enough around the world from all those USians. But I agree that Doug in HK would probably be the "furthest out", though IMHO he's really in the wrong hemi-sphere for that to be quite correct.
