Latest statistics for the site are 495,822 members and 5,300,887 names (although some of these will be duplicates). At this rate the number of members will pass the half million by the end of the week. Still a little way behind freebmd, though with its nearly 60 million names. Congratulations to everybody concerned for creating a fantastic tool and to the members themselves who have shown a willingness to assist others and have avoided the rudery which spoils so many other discussion groups.
