But do they actually READ it??? ;-) All of this presupposes that the numbers that you see bear any relationship to reality. They can only approximate, and you really would need to do an analysis to validate your model. E.g., I read some lists via the WEB int.f (and I could be set to NOMAIL); or I might receive the list distribution via a group remailer i.e., a list subscribed to a list or gatewayed to a BBS. Or the number might not include DIGEST/INDEX subscribers. If these numbers are of strategic value and are worth money to you, maybe another of L-Soft's products might better suit? Otherwise: REV listname NOH SH Q listname WITH NOMAIL FOR *@*
