Re: How many Tesla list members?

Well.. I hate to perpetuate this off topic thread... but as Terry said, 
posts are low ;) It is interesting to know how many people are on the list 
and I was just thinking the same thing a while back, how many coilers are 
there in the world? Three times the list subscribers seems fairly 
reasonable to me, but consider how many of the list members are actually 
active. We know that there are many more "lurkers" on this list than 
posters - I myself rarely post, but usually read everything. But I wonder 
how many of those subscribers are old email addresses that no longer get 
checked? How many people subscribed and lost interest before going further?

Next, the point of coilers not subscribed to the list is also 
interesting... The great thing about this list is the wealth of knowledge 
it brings together into one place. Not every coiler in the world has 
Internet access, but I suspect many more do than are on this list... Maybe 
it would be a good idea to encourage people to join at teslathons and other 
events. The wider the circle of influence of the TCML, the more effective 
it can be... Bandwidth allowing of course.

Cheers,
Troy
