   I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you. ;-) I'm just kind've
a sucker for stats like that; thought it might be interesting. The counter
is up on the page; Looks like there are currently 317 active DMLers.
What the script does is to just look at the posts for the current and
the past month and count the number of unique posters. So, when next
month comes and there aren't many posts yet, it will really only be
counting the posts from last month, but if the same people post all the
time, the total shouldn't change a whole lot. It should be good enough
for our purposes anyway (idle curiosity). :-)
