Tigger asked a question in the last issue, and I forgot to answer her... > How many members do we have on the list right now? Has our existance been > made known to rec.pets recently? I think this can be a valuable source of > information in addition to sharing our favorite ferret anecdotes. H'm, let's see: wc *-list 5 13 163 anon-list 37 124 1468 mail-list 42 137 1631 total Eg: 5 anon, 37 regular and 42 total. Approximately 1-2 bounces per issue. usually from the same addresses. I have no idea how many actually get through - I expect at least one or two blackhole out there somewhere. One particularly surprising bounce from the last issue was: [log in to unmask] (Shu-Ju Wang-Burgess) I know that she kept in contact with some of you. Anybody know what happened? [Surprising in that she was one of the more active contributors and I would have expected her to give me some sort of warning - mind you, this appeared to be from videovax's neighbor deciding that they didn't know videovax anymore] I periodically make very blunt hints in rec.pets about the ferret mailing list in rec.pets. Last one between one and two months ago. Each one generates a couple more membership requests. --------------------------------- [Posted in FML 0054]
