I just ran the script again: as of July 8 2008 there are 1760 unique
subscribers @linuxaudio.org's  4 lists (laa,lau,lad,consortium).
The majority of users is subscribed to ONE list only.

# number-of-subscribed-lists at lao  => head-count
    [1] => 1255
    [2] => 315
    [3] => 160
    [4] => 30

so long,
robin
