��I remember when Gary Smythe working out of his garage in San Juan Capistrano started a little company called GoWesty making Westy tables, and Ron Salmon, in some remote place of Pennsylvania�took the plunge and started a bus part mail order company called "The Bus Depot".�� Thank you all for the perseverance to make this list and this community so great.

Subject: List Membership Count

Does anyone know if there is a way to get a membership count from the
listserv at Gerry.

I would be interested in knowing how many active people we have, how
many coasters,and how many just plain dead subscriptions.

Is there any way to query the system.?

Thanks,
