One of the new subscribers to ECOLOG-L today brought the total to over
20,000. Here's a graph of the number of subscribers since I started the
list in 1992. The unusual gap between 17,000 and 18,000 reflects a
change in Yahoo.com addresses that resulted in most of them being
deleted because of a LISTSERV conflict. There are subscribers from 60+
countries.
Thanks to the University of Maryland for hosting the list for 26+
years. As was announced last fall, sometime soon the Ecological Society
of America will assume responsibility for hosting and moderating the
list, and maintaining the archive.
More information about the list is summarized in:
