Doug:
For some odd reason, I kept a list of subscribers, valid as of 30 March 2006. Here's the stats for that date: * Total number of "concealed" subscribers: 7 * Total number of users subscribed to the list: 860 (non-"concealed" only) * Total number of local host users on the list: 0 (non-"concealed" only) * (No country data) In about the past 6 years, our membership has declined from 860 to 668, a 22% decline. I don't have the data to prove this, but my guess is that our numbers continued relatively constant from March of 2006 until the financial crisis in 2008 also began squeezing the regulatory compliance professionals. The latest 668 figure may even include some recovery of jobs over the past year or so. I'm not trying to create make-work somebody, but it might be interesting (if our admins have the data) to plot the membership figures of our list since inception. I wonder how closely our population tracks the state of the economy?

I seem to recall the late 1990s we were about 800 strong.
