There are at most two dozen or so regular posters. Who knows how many
lurkers or occasional posters? Well, now I have a greatest-lower-bound
approximation for this.

So far, almost 80 people have viewed my two videos on YouTube (79 for
the heron and 77 for the salmon). I suspect all but a small handful came
to them from ROFF. YouTube is deluged with videos. Most of them get very
little attention, including ones far better than mine.

We can safely assume that there are about 80 ROFF readers with
high-bandwidth Internet connections.

I'm proposing an experiment to get better data. Click on one or the
other of the YouTube videos and post a comment, identifying yourself as
being from ROFF. You don't even have to watch them. I don't care. Just
say "ROFF" or whatever else you want in the comments. You can even
insult me if it makes you feel good. :-)

Cut "to the chase" for my email address.

There were 320 ROFF subscribers 30 seconds ago. Who the hell knows how
many read the group. I'd guestimate perhaps ALL from time to time?
Does that sound right?
