</div>...my personal mbox mail archive file for this list is 316M and appears to go<br>
back nearly exactly 2 years.<br>

I have no idea how many people are on this list, but lets say there are 20,000 of which say only 10,000 actually keep an archive. That's roughly 1.5 Tb for each year that's being replicated across everyone's mailbox. </div>
