    How many read or have access to RRRS-AUTHORS vs how many
    actually contribute? 

I was sort of curious about this.  I count 22 individuals directly on
the mailing list, plus four redistributions:

      OZ        - 14 people
      HP-SCHEME - I have no idea; I'll guess 4
      Indiana	- ditto; guess 7
      TI	- ditto; guess 7

That makes about 54 people, if I add correctly.  Probably a conservative
estimate.

43 people (plus one program and one stuffed animal) have contributed to
the 825 messages.  20 people have contributed 7 or more messages each.
These 20 people account for 95% of the messages.  (Counting messages is
a crude measure, but it's all I have the energy to do.)  As I expected, I
am the most embarrassed, with Bill Rozas and Will Clinger 2nd and 3rd.
