I subscribe to both sorehand and s.m.o, and s.m.o seems to be overly broad in
scope, with much lower traffic.  S.m.o might feel overwhelmed if sorehand were
to gate there.

Sorehand merits distribution to thousands of sites where millions of daily
keyboard users are at risk for seriously injuring themselves.  I used to think
it could never happen to me until it eventually did.

>How many subscribers does SOREHAND have now?

500+

>How much traffic?

Seems to average about 20+ per day.
