This must be the stupidest ET post ever. Obviously if he meant anywhere other than the Melbourne with ~5 million population, he would have specified.
If there are any trader meet-ups in London, please specify whether it is in London UK or London, Texas.
Thanking you in advance.

... go to 7:42I disagree.
First, I don't know (and I imagine most people don't know) the population of every city named Melbourne on the planet. Likewise most people don't know the population of every city named "Manchester" or "Springfield".
Which leads to the second point - I don't believe there is an agreed Elitetrader threshold population above/below which a city is deemed to "be the one" without specifying its precise location. What is the threshold exactly? 100,000? 1 million? Without an agreed threshold, a simple request for clarification is reasonable.
Third, this is a very US-centric site, and although the US population is roughly 5% of the Earth's population, I am guessing that well over 50% of Elitetrader's members are from the US. So while the population of Melbourne, Florida is lower than that of Melbourne, Victoria, there's a better chance of someone being from Melbourne, FL on this site than on a site where the members less than 10% American.
