However:
$ grep '^From: ' debian-users | sort | uniq -d | wc -l
270
Which means over the past two weeks (I expire mail over 2 weeks old),
there are only 270 people who posted more than once to debian-user. So,
you could say of those 2598 subscribers, only 270 have been "active" the
past two weeks.
I was still disappointed by the turnout. I had only 16 responses after
3 days, and only got more by sending another mail urging people to
respond.
