- Well, I didn't derive the number, but that was the estimate of
- subscribers in the news.lists posting. It is an estimate based on the
- number of sites sending in information compared to the estimated
- number of USENET sites. They estimate 190,000 USENET readers, and that
- 0.8% of the people read alt.magic.
