I have access to a list admin tool that gives me the current count. I don't believe time-series data is easily available. The list has 1063 subscribers/survivors currently. Semantic-Web@ has 1344; the defunct www-rdf-logic has 433. I've no idea how many bounce (I believe some bouncing can cause auto-unsubscription). You can approximate frequent poster stats manually from e.g. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2013Jun/author.html ... I'm not aware of an machine-friendly version. I don't unsubscribe from lists any more, I just pipe them into folders. I guess others do the same? Dan
