mmmm. nope.
Right now, we're running right about 500 regular list subs, 400
digest subs, and who knows how many on Mail-archive readers. Judging
from the complaints I get if the archives are slow/dormant, it's in
the hundreds.

as some people read it on the web-site - via mail-archive interface.
Of course, this number is not exact, and some people don't read
regularly,
and some people read just a small portion of topics.
Ghm.. I wonder if anybody could guess that number...
Anyway, my estimate is that there are close to 200 readers.
(Well, the floor number is at ~150).
At least ~70 of them are reading the list via mail-archive.

PS.
I know that for some people the thought that I could figure this out
without having any access to the list mailserver or mail-archive
server
could be scary.
No, I didn't do any hacking, I didn't invade your computers
(well that is a philosophical question - you are reading my message
right now - is that an invasion? ;-) You are doing it willingfully,
I hope.. :-) ) or your privacy.
And no, I am not associated with any of the secret service,
governmental or spy agencies.
How did I do it? Being a physicist in the area of nano-, I
simply marked some electrons that are used for sending my
electronic messages to the list. Analyses of the electron propagation,
diffraction, and interference allowed me to do this estimate.
Nothing mystic.
