Ok, here are the stats as of today:

* Total number of "concealed" subscribers: 7
* Total number of users subscribed to the list: 82 (non-"concealed" only)

We have 44 IDs issued at this point (and I still haven't figured out why
only 50% of the people have gotten a bloddy ID!)

---

Here's my idea:

If every person on this list makes at least one submission PER WEEK, that
will give us ~80 submissions a week, times 8 weeks, giving us 640
submissions before we close the books at the end of March.

This list is not a lurker list. This is a working list and it is
expected that people who sign up ARE going to contribute.

It's interesting, but I bet most of them are just taking what they want
from what's posted. At least that's my guess.

While an admirable idea, I personally can't say that I'll be able to submit
at least 1 article a week. Mine will be a few here and there.
