What >would be considered a small, medium, large list? I have a list with 9500 subscibers. Based upon that, I would consider 900 to be at best medium to large. I did a quick look at the list headers on my listserv, and came up with the following numbers. Total lists = 197 1000+ 4 500 - 1000 6 250 - 500 20 100 - 250 33 50 - 100 20 1 - 50 104 > Wouldn't the focus >of the group (more popular v more esoteric subject matter) have >an impact on how large a group might be? Absolutely! > Additionally, has a predictable >rate of growth over time been noted in connection with these groups. Yes. Always up. >Does anyone know of any literature that addresses these issues? None that I know of. Harold
