Not sure where you get your numbers from, and I have no idea what you
are trying to say here, but php-general has 2954 subscribers, not 787
and internals has 837 (including digest users). And then of course
there are a lot of people who use the nntp gateway and other mailing
list gateways.
I meant internals@, not php-general. I refer specifically to people
who are subscribed as those who are more hard-core than others. If
you just read the digest occasionally or read it over the web, it's
usually meaningless.

I read internals using Gmane and I check it pretty much every day. The
only reason I subscribed (if I did in fact subscribe) was so that I
could send replies.
I read a bunch of other mailing-lists on a daily basis using Gmane that
I don't actually send replies to. I am not necessarily trying to refute
your point, just saying that there may be things you hadn't considered.

Ack. It looks like I am actually using news.php.net. But my main
point was that on can read mialing list consistently without actually
subscribing.
