Nordic greetings!
For your information, the mailing list has broken the 500 barrier:
we are now about 516 subscribers.
Gone are the days when we all knew each other by name; if anyone cares to
look, the first entries in the mailing list contain the name in addition
to the e-mail address. Unfortunately, the mail server does not bother
with such frivolous matters.
Would someone out there be interested in looking at the e-mail addresses
and make a survey? Something like how many different countries, how many
companies, etc... some statistics that is easy to gather just by looking
at the e-mail addresses. In this way, we would have a better idea of
who is hanging on this list.
Regards, Andre'
[Andre's note: it seems like the subscriptions, to some extent, reflect
the geography of installed base of RP machines.]

Andre
I got the current list from majordomo and then did a quick analysis
on my computer. After eliminating duplications (there were quite a
few) the 500 dropped to 445. Some statistics:
U.S. Commercial 188
U.S. Educational 75
U.S. Military 8
U.S. Org. 4
U.S. Government 8
Total U.S. 283
Austria 3
Australia 10
Belgium 2
Brazil 2
Canada 14
China 1
Germany 21
Finland 13
Hong Kong 2
Ireland 2
Israel 2
India 1
Italy 5
Japan 2
Korea 5
Malaysia 1
Netherlands 8
Norway 6
Portugal 2
Sweden 5
Singapore 13
Taiwan 5
United Kingdom 22
South Africa 3
There were a few I could not identify ( 13 ending in .net). More
analysis would be needed to determine number of companies, etc.
