Yaa, I agree with what everyone is saying, that even the number of subscribers, addresses, etc, isn't that useful for judging the size of the community, etc. That's all completely true. However, many of my colleagues, for some truly insane reason or another which I can't for the life of me understand, question the existence of blind computer programmers in general. By far the most common argument I hear against doing this kind of research is that the community is very small ... or so I'm told by those that don't know any better ... But without any data on the topic at all, it's pretty tough to argue. Now, I can at least say, "Well, on a popular mailing list for blind programmers, there are 347 registered email addresses." Obviously, there are duplicates, some folks aren't active, and some folks are sighted impostors (like me), but hey, it's better than nothing! Thanks Jim for the number of addresses, that helps.
