The guys at LSoft Inc feel otherwise... http://www.lsoft.com/products/default.asp?item=listserv Number of public lists 75,526 Number of local lists 209,846 Total number of lists 285,372 Total membership (public+local) 131,394,317 Total messages delivered today 24,758,359 That's *only* for LSoft's Listserv product, and does *NOT* include all the intranet installs of Listserv. In fact, I suspect it only covers some 400 registered installs of their commercial product - the free and trial versions don't register themselves and won't be included in those numbers. This doesn't include MailMan, ezmlm, Majordomo, or any other software. Note that LSoft is *NOT* the market-share leader. I think we can conclude that a great many Internet users *DO* participate in mailing lists.
