I think this may be the case with some of the lists who are seeming to have 
inflated numbers.  Another thing to consider is a case like the one for my 
store, which I have on Listbot not egroups, but where everyone who ASKED to 
be subscribed could not figure out how to reply to the message in order to 
get subscribed to the list, and so about half the people who get my 
mailings get them through my email program as a forward once I receive my 
own copy of the newsletter.

Just simply using the Address Book in my email client, and forwarding to 
myself using all their names as BCC:

Therefore you'd only see the ones at Listbot, and not the ones I forward to 
privately.

Between these two considerations that might explain the huge difference in 
subscribers!
