It's worse than that outside of N. America.  Most Europeans are forbidden to
mail to America.  Even those who are allowed to often don't get through.
E.g., my comment and vote didn't get through, and I am unusually
well-connected for England, and I assume the vote-taker was reasonably
well-connected.

Moderation will cut off contributions from most people in most of the rest
of the world.
