Bill, that statement doesn't tell the full story because it does not 
break out attrition.  The list could have added 400 new members, but 
lost 300 original members.  Surely that's an exaggeration, but no 
commercial enterprise or political candidate likes to lose members of 
their core base.  And one doesn't want to drive away newcomers into the 
fold, who *thought* this aspect of the hobby could be fun, but quickly 
tired of all the bickering.
