Greetings, I hope that I'm writing this to the proper list. I recently started a listserv (AGNMORE) to disseminate news releases to journalists from Texas A&M. I am going to present a paper on it at the upcoming Southern Assn. of Agricultural Scientists meeting in New Orleans. I would like to have some general information about the use of listervs. When did they begin? How many are there? What's the average number of people who subscribe to any one list? What's the average number of listservs an averaged (online) person subscribes to? How many listservs are there that disseminate news releases? If there is a place to find this kind of information online, point me to it. Or, if any of you know the answers to any or all of these questions, please let me know. Thanks a bunch.
