SUBSCRIBERS BY INSTITUTION
==========================
"Institution" is generally indicated by one or two components of an email
address preceding the last component or "country". Some institutions may
be overlooked here, because of their addressing conventions or because some
affiliated persons subscribe from an outside address.
HES has four or more subscribers at a handful of institutions:
6 U Amsterdam, Netherlands
5 Goteborg U, Sweden
4 Erasmus U Rotterdam, Netherlands
4 Duke U, USAmerica
4 U Notre Dame, USAmerica
4 U Paris 1, France
4 U Quebec a Montreal, Canada
4 U California at Berkeley, USAmerica
4 Columbia U, USAmerica
4 Massey, New Zealand
===============
TECHNICAL NOTES
===============
- Each person is counted once, at current residence (or so I guess) for
those with subscriptions from two different countries.
- "US America" counts all persons with addresses ending {.org .com .net
.edu .us .gov .mil} EXCEPT where I know that person is based
elsewhere, which depends on my memory, efforts, and good fortune.
Since I have now asked everyone, it depends mainly on their replies.
- "English" counts all persons based in any English-speaking country
including "USAmerica" as defined here.
