My email addresses are "located" there, but *I* most certainly am not, 
except on those occasions when I happen to be travelling there. I suspect 
many other people are in the same situation.

See above. Appearances can be very deceiving.

That's a very creative definition of "majority", Jonathon. My dictionaries 
all say it means "more than half of the total", i.e. 50%+1. I believe the 
word you meant is "plurality", which means "the greatest number, but less 
than half of the total".
