Actually, 621 subscribed email addresses, but there are probably rather fewer individual members since some will be subscribed at more than one address. A small private Yahoo Groups list which I run lists 25 members on the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/XXX/members page, but there are only 14 individual members. The difference is made up by home and work email addresses, old email addresses which haven't been unsubscribed, free email addresses which individuals keep in reserve, and one member has set up a facility to post messages to the group via SMS text messages from his mobile phone. A number of these additional addresses are set to "no messages" so that members can post to the group from any of their email addresses, but have messages sent only to one address. David Mack
