Those numbers mean nothing unless you can prove all two- hundred-thirty-odd thousand of them to be active, non- tolling, non-socking, non-spaming accounts. Sure, i can imagine Python-list has an impressively large number of registered users, however, on a daily basis there are only 3-5 on-topic threads. And of those, the majority of the posts are send by a hanful of regulars. IOWs: these "membership numbers" are not true metrics. I'd wager to say that only a couple hundred accounts out of that 230,000 are active and legit python programmers (if that). Be realistic dude. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
