I've always wondered why people come up with what look like unrealistically
low numbers for "number of subscribers".  Let's look at what these numbers
mean:
 
If 20 people are averaging a total of 10 pieces of mail a day, that means
that each person is on average finding something to say about their car
ever other day.  Now, this level of fanaticism is mostly confined to Saturn
and Subaru owners, but..
 
How many of these cars has Renault sold?  What percent of the owners are among
the 20 million or so current Internet users?
 
I'd guess 200, or 2,000... but almost certainly more than 20...
