If we can get an idea how many are actually using the web interface it can give us some clues as to how best to further market the list amongst this group. Hence, the question 'how many users are using the web interface?'.

Well that's not the same question you originally asked.  ;-)  In any event,
correlating passwords would not help because that is a one-time event.  If you
want to measure web usage, you'll need to parse the log files to look for WWW
activity.

and compare it with the subscriber list.  You'll probably want to script this.

You could also simply post a message to the list asking people.  You won't get
100% accurate response but it will be surprisingly good, and much easier than
a lot of background sniffing around, parsing log files, checking for
passwords, etc.
