Here are some statistics of the number of mailings that have been made to the BioSci lists on LISTSERV. The number of people who are subscribed to the different lists and the total mail sent since the lists were established. There is an obvious trend that those lists that have many subscribers are also the most active. Some lists are new lists while others have been established for a considerable period of time. It was rather a surprise to discover that LISTSERV has handled close to HALF A MILLION messages. To amuse myself I imagined that there had been 1000 bounced mail messages (a gross over estimate) and then I worked out the percentage of bounced mail to the total. It turns out to be 0.20189%... and this is what people remember:-) No of No of Total mailings subs. mail sent ------------- -------- ------- -------- ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>AGEING.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 24 4 96 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>AGFORST.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 56 48 2688 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>BIOJOBS.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 295 135 39825 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>BIOJRNL.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 202 128 25856 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>BIOMATR.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 124 55 6820 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>BIONAUT.STATREPT;2 Total (mail): 334 123 41082 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>BIONEWS.STATREPT;2 Total (mail): 819 187 153153 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>BIOSOFT.STATREPT;2 Total (mail): 591 190 112290 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>CHROM22.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 8 7 56 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>EMBLDB.STATREPT;2 Total (mail): 39 94 3666 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>GENBANK.STATREPT;2 Total (mail): 378 77 29106 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>GENEORG.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 21 79 1659 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>GNOMEPR.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 171 59 10089 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>METHODS.STATREPT;2 Total (mail): 352 84 29568 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>MOLEVOL.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 115 84 9660 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>POPBIO.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 153 93 14229 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>PROTEIN.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 71 100 7100 ****************************** <HARPER.STATS>SCIRES.STATREPT;1 Total (mail): 135 62 8370 Total mail distributed by LISTSERV to subscribers 495313 -=ROB=-
