Cool!

As you can see L.pm has a fair number of "nomail"s, most of which are
duplicates for the same person so they can post from different places.
So the number of real people is lower than it might first appear purely
from raw subscription data. It quite possible if Seattle.pm don't have a
closed list policy like London.pm, and hence less need for nomail, their
group could be (slightly) larger.

This might be the first time anyone's systematically looked at the
nomail subscribers, hence posting the script if any other .pm groups
using mailman would like to compare.

(Has this thread exceeded any internationally recognized numerical
nerdiness thresholds?)
