The list is growing

From: Steve and Heidi (stephenholyfield@sbcglobal.net) | Date: 2004-07-26 11:31:06 UTC

In case no one's been keeping tabs, this morning we're well over 1800
members on this list. Thats up from about 1640-1650 prior to a
certain magazine article!

Please remain positive with your responses and try to help out some
of the newer members as they get up the courage to post to our group.

For the newer members, take note of the FAQ's and other helpful areas
and resources. Also note that there are regional talk lists, a new
members talk list and a travellers list (for hitch-hiker reports).

Thanks and have a sparkling day!

The big worry I have is that after a magazine article like that, this
list could easily go to 18,000.

Let's see . . . 49 emails per day on approximately 25-30 threads, with
1800 people. The number of threads would scale linearly but the number
of emails exponentially as you go to 18,000.

Yes, I have it . . . my computer hard-drive will not big enough to keep
up with daily LBNA emails in about 98 hours.

Perhaps a new List "Letterboxing-Time-Magazine" to absorb the
deluge! ;-)
