I wonder how many lurkers there are?

The problem is that we can't ask all lurkers to announce their
presence, cos they won't be lurkers anymore.

This group has 659 members i saw recently, so a fucking lot i
guess. >>
Where did I see that, or am i dreaming it?

That's prolly on my stats or in google group stats.

Those are the posters, YTC. You can't measure the number of lurkers.

The only place I've seen "membership" numbers for usenet is those who
are subscribed to a group via Google Groups. Clearly subscribers can
read or post or both but are no way representative of how many people
may be reading via usenet (or via web streams of usenet posts). It's
amazing how far posts get as I found when I googled on my name and
suddenly saw references to posts on forums I didn't know existed.

Exactly. It's not an easy science.
