Bahaha.  Not bad.. I've got a tad more subscribers:

root at ohno:/usr/local/mailman/bin> ./list_members rescue |wc -l
     427
root at ohno:/usr/local/mailman/bin> ./list_members geeks |wc -l
     197
root at ohno:/usr/local/mailman/bin> ./list_members sunhelp |wc -l
    1023
root at ohno:/usr/local/mailman/bin> ./list_members sunmanagers |wc -l
    4270

All these lists combined did 921.2 *megabytes* of outgoing mail 
yesterday.

I did something similar with the SWGoths list back in '98.  I kicked a guy
off for threatening Amy (my then-girlfriend) on the list.  He then whined to
other listmembers that since he hadnt threatened her *on* the list, that he
should be allowed to stay!  I said screw it, sent the subscriber list and web
pages to someone else, and walked away.  Got tired of the politics and 
infighting.
