Well, the claim wasn't "that there are people who are interested but 
aren't on the mailing list."  The claim was that "there are probably 
interested people who aren't *regular posters*."

I think it quite likely that there are many interested people 
who are not regular posters.  

I count myself as an "interested person."  I am not a regular 
poster.  Since this is probably my first post, I wouldn't even call 
myself a poster of any sort, regular or otherwise.  My lack of time, 
and my lack of anything substantive to add to the discussion don't 
make me any less interested.

I'm subscribed to the digest of both this list and the beginners' 
list.  I just barely have time to read them.  I make the time 
because I'm interested.
