This list has 2155 subscribers.

Rough, quick count numbers:
56 sent messages week ending 31 May
58 week ending 24 May
87 week ending 3 May
56 week ending 5 April
82 Week ending 8 March
28 week ending 8 Feb
68 week ending 11 Jan

Average:  62 or 3% on the list

Quick glance looks like same people most of the time sending messages

Would be interesting to just report on Last Call mail.  You might find justification 
there by itself to create a Last-Call list.
