Yes, but how far can this go? There is a difference between two
language variants of a page (already suspect as being one thing, if
you ask a linguist) and two different sites catering to different
cultures. I've seen cases like this where the news feeds are
different, for example - in Germany, say, you get local German news,
and in the US, you get US news. What is the one "Thing" here? (02)
