Sure; that's interesting enough Frank, if not necessarily accurate. For example, I've been following this topic from 3 locations (with different 'IP addresses') within Australia.
Another matter of interest connected with this topic is the unanswered comment:
"The correction for parallax is positive and that for refraction is
negative. There will be an infinite number of positions where the two
corrections can cancel one another, ie; the distances will be the

The method you propose seems to be ingenious: top marks for devising it and bringing it to our attention. But it doesn't seem to be very practical. I'm only too happy to be proved wrong on this, but you have been unresponsive in providing requested details from a number of posters. This would seem to do you a disservice when it comes to stimulating further interest or serious attention.

give the general geographic region and sometimes the city of
origin of the visitor. I thought you all might be interested in seeing
