About 405. There were 850 email addresses on the subscription list for years, but several hundred of them were second or third addresses belonging to a single subscriber. A lot of people would add a new address and set the old one to nomail rather than delete it. When Buddha-l moved to SWCP, we unsubscribed everyone from the old site after inviting everyone to subscribe at the new site. Of more than 800 at the old site about half subscribed at the new address. The count has remained about the same ever since.
