Well, let's go to the list archive and see what we can find...

Don't look at July, that's when we moved the server and everything that
is being imported (yes, the import is still running) from the old
system. It currently says:
Starting: Thu Jul 1 12:47:11 CDT 2010
Ending: Fri Jul 30 21:51:51 CDT 2010
Messages: 73783 (and growing)
If you assumed an average of 20 work days in a month, and an average of
2000 messages per month... you would be reviewing 100 email messages per
day from this list alone.
If you want/need more historical data, I can get the old server fired up
and take a look at the original archive system, it also had messages
broken out by month.
Later,

I need an estimate as to how many emails are generated by this
list-serve daily. Keeping up with these emails is part of my
"product" to make me more efficient at my job. I consider it
necessary to learning and keeping current in the technology field.
Thanks in advance.
