If you really think the 1ms or 2ms benefit Dutch users will get from a list server hosted in the Netherlands is worth campaigning for, go ahead.

But seems you want to argue about the location, I might as well explain why the UK is a good choice for placement. From what I read years ago (so yeah, it may be different now) 2/3 of the traffic from Europe to America passes via England. To ensure a good speed for both American and European clients, the best place for a list server would either be the United Kingdom or the East Coast of the United States.

But now we're working on deployment a network (the only thing holding us back is a proper patching method which is being worked on) and even with the new network, it still works out nicely:



(For those of you not in one of the circles, you just need to pick the nearest to you which offers you the fastest list access)

Now, I honestly see no major benefit of moving to a Dedicated Server in the Netherlands. I have no intention of shutting down operation in the UK just because you feel the 1ms/2ms improvement for Dutch users is vitally important for list operation.

This is also hopefully the last post I have to make in here, as everyone has pointed out to you Unknownfile, your not capable of arguing because as soon as someone makes a good point at you, you just ignore them and try to find a error to laugh at.
