What's the definition of "users of LVS"?

I ran following snippet through my LVS Folder (15732 emails):

MAILBOX="/data/.mozilla/ratz/bk1whpek.slt/Mail/tac/Development.sbd/VirtualServer"

egrep -v 'Delivered-To\:|In\-Reply|Followup\-To\:|Reply\-To\:' ${MAILBOX} | \
   grep '^From\:' | sort -u | sed 's/ *(.*)//; s/>.*//; s/.*[:<] *//; s/]$//' | \
   grep -v '^\/\/' | grep '\@' | sort -u | wc -l

And I got 1650 subscribers ;).

Highest ranked emailers (no signal/noise ration included):

Joseph Mack: ~3000
Simon Horman: ~1500
Wensong Zhang: ~1000
Julian Anastasov: ~1000
Roberto Nibali: ~1000

Hmm, the individual numbers seem almost too high ... (half of the lists emails 
have been written by 5 people)

Cheers,
Roberto Nibali, ratz
