No, I'm not sure what the member turnover rate is... A lot of people
jump on and off the list due to time issues at work or home, etc... I do
know that there are some people who just read the archives because
they feel they can't handle the volume. They'll jump on and off the list
to post a question.
As far as who the old timers are, its hard to say, but you can get an
idea by looking at the archives and sorting by author. The list started
in November '95, and just glancing through some of the posts, I recognized
the names of some people who are still with us like Bill Countie, David
Zavetsky and Ron Rader. That was back when the list was 6-10 people...
Ned Vogler joined up the following month. (I apologize if I missed anyone.)
:-) Anyway, a look through the archives should give you an idea about who
showed up when. There are some interesting posts in there too, like people
asking for certain features, and me writing the software to do it, teething
problems, etc... (Ok, they're interesting to ME anyway.) ;-)

:-) Yep, 40 people was quite a while ago. Yeah, a member number would
be pretty cool; kind've hard to implement though. :-)
