Yep.  Some people are subscribed 3 or even 5 times!  My total number of
unique members came to 342, while Listserv claims 390 or so.  But what's
+-50 people among friends?  :)

True.  But if someone's giving out their first and last name, and both
sound like "normal" names, it's more likely to represent their real selves
than not.  Of course, there will always be exceptions.  And then there are
those truly weird names out there, like "Arthaey Angosii."  :)  But your
point is taken, and that's why I had the "unknown" gender category.
