I agree with that statement.  What I believe people want to know is
the impact of various lists relative to other methods of sharing
their thoughts with colleagues in related fields.

The simple answer is that nobody really knows how to measure impact
in any absolute sense.  Even relative impact is extremely difficult
to measure.  And any numbers that are generated are suspect.

But what is the relative percentage of email that subscribers actually
(a) read, (b) delete within N seconds of being opened, (c) do anything
about -- such as reply to, click on a URL, use as a starting point for
further searches, etc. ?
