No, no, I meant the total number of .org domains registered by
everyone who posts to this list is an immeasurably small fraction of
the 10M total and not representative.  Whatever the number is on the
savedotorg petition, it is certainly a lot of high profile names, but
still far too small to claim it's representative.  

Surveying large populations is hard. and particularly hard here
because of the obstacles to even knowing who they all are.
