> How much of the readership depends on the mailing list

A large number.  There are 140 redistribution addresses on the master XPERT,
with just one going to each organization (company, university, etc.).  Each
of those lists then resends each message to God only knows how many people.

Probably most of them.  Remember that X is independent of both UNIX and USENET.
