It's actually fewer than you might think.
If everyone who ever joined had stayed on, we'd be slightly over 40 now,
but four have unsubscribed so we're a few less.

This is similar to the idea someone had the second week of December and
as I said then, multiple lists is no problem.

However, if we don't reach the volumes we had for a couple of days then,
is it really necessary?
I agree that it could be useful for some people, but how common are they?

So at least the most difficult problem with such a list, finding someone
who can do the summaries, has been solved.  :-)

Well, what do you people out there say?
I guess that would be mostly directed to those of you who don't normally
write to the list. If you still don't want to do that, please feel free
to reply to this letter instead and I'll summarize to the list later.
