Well, even the size of the mailing list might not be accurately
estimated.  _My_ site runs a mail exploder for love-hounds as I
collect via dialup UUCP and don't want half a dozen people all
grabbing the same 1200-line or whatever digest.  Most of my exploder
members are lurkers tho (so am I most of the time :-)

Maybe the administrators of Love-Hounds-Request could let us know
how many digest and real-time members there are (even if some are
exploders).
