You're welcome and thank you. :-)

Peeron doesn't actually have any special access to private data on the
LUGNET server, which means that it doesn't have access to LUGNET members'
e-mail addresses (except in cases where people explicitly list their e-mail
address publicly on their member profile).
But certainly a periodic mailing directly from the LUGNET server to its
members could be done, as the LUGNET server knows e-mail addresses as well
as what sets people own and a list of sets [not] yet inventoried by Peeron
or BrickLink to compare the lists against. I can probably whip up a message
like this pretty easily based on previous occasional mailing LUGNET has done.
Additionally, the LUGNET server knows which sets people have listed
privately in their "My Collection" listings on LUGNET. These listings would
be more complete for the mailing to work from.

Ya, good idea!

Good question! I'm not aware of any official count, but *someone* must
know. Hey, post a question to the LEGO Direct group and maybe someone at
LEGO knows or can find out.
