Not sure where you get your numbers from, and I have no idea what you are trying to say here, but php-general has 2954 subscribers, not 787 and internals has 837 (including digest users). And then of course there are a lot of people who use the nntp gateway and other mailing list gateways.

I meant internals@, not php-general. I refer specifically to people who are subscribed as those who are more hard-core than others. If you just read the digest occasionally or read it over the web, it's usually meaningless. Zeev

I read internals using Gmane and I check it pretty much every day. The only reason I subscribed (if I did in fact subscribe) was so that I could send replies. I read a bunch of other mailing-lists on a daily basis using Gmane that I don't actually send replies to. I am not necessarily trying to refute your point, just saying that there may be things you hadn't considered. Marc

Ack. It looks like I am actually using news.php.net. But my main point was that on can read mialing list consistently without actually subscribing. Marc
