Who are we?

There have been a lot of new members recently.  You have only seen the
tip of the iceberg, that is those who send their subscription requests
to the list instead of to the disney-comics-request address where is
should go.  (Currently there are no UK subscribers at all, though.)
Among the new subscribers are a couple of pros of the field, btw:
David Cody Weiss & Bobbi JG Weiss.  Welcome to you, and to everyone
else new on the list!

Of course it would.  Do you volunteer to maintain such a list of
introduc(k)tions?  As for how many we are, etc., we are about 90
people now!  Should I post some member statistics once in a while,
like the number of subscribers and how they are distributed
geographically once in a while (or even the whole list of
subscribers?), or is that too much off-topic for you all?
Should I encourage new members to introduce themselves to the list?
What do you think?
