Dave,

What percentage of American philosophers would choose as their primary label that of 'American Pragmatist'?   What does 'mainstream' or 'mainstream American' even mean?  And in case you haven't noticed the world has gone global.  The really dynamic thinking in philosophy today, on a global level, is more in the area of Quantum Philosophy or Quantum Metaphysics, Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Information, and/or Philosophy of Consciousness.  
 
Sigh.
