It's had numbers in that range since 2000. I'm told there are another 1500 who are subscribers, but ... I dunno. I'm not even sure how to check.Also, I don't subscribe to blogs in my aggregator. I subscribe to keyword searches. I found this post because one of those keyword searches was for my name. At any given time I've got 5-10 keyword searches that I follow. Not sure what the lesson here is, if any; but I thought I'd pass the info along, anyway. Not sure if this is helpful, but I rarely look at my stats.

Great. RSS subscriptions increased. Great.Over a period of a few days there were minor, yet still substantial, decreases in subscribers. Weird.I didn't post any new content, so it couldn't have been a removal based on a poor second impression. It's strange to me because, as you correctly stated, the effort to add a subscription to your RSS reader is sizeable and if you're going to exert the effort why would you then go and "trim" your subscription base immediately after adding the site.This explanation doesn't sit well with me either. It just doesn't make sense.Interested in your thoughts.
