Since more than 150 can't be verified by now, I've adjusted the number in the news-item meanwhile and explained in a comment that the number did origin from an anonymous german source.

We had a couple of news submissions with the content of the e-mail from AmigaKit, but this source here did in addition also include the header as well as the comment, that going by that flawed sending of the e-mail there would be at least 540 additional people interested in the board.

Since I didn't suspect someone spreading slipped business secrets of A-EON to be someone who inflates such numbers (and since, as it did, a faked number would be instantaneously be falsified by all the other recipients of the e-mail), I guilelessly took that number for real.

After all, it might still be a valid number - thus I hope that as requested in my german comment either the anonymous source gives me more details how he came to that conclusion or that some of the e-mail recipients publish their respective first and last one of the 150 entries (garbled by e.g. just spelling the first two or three letters of the addresses) to see if it might have been four different e-mails of max. 150 recipients each.

But for the time being I've changed the news-item to 150 now. In case it turns out that the number of 540 people indeed was a hoax, I do apologize of course for this canard.
