Hey Rick,
I agree wholeheartedly. There are quite a few people that just plain prefer e-mail too.
You would be really suprised WHO is in the list of NOT offering e-mail subscriptions, I know you know most of them. But I won’t drop names.

It’s definitely worthwhile offering email subscriptions, especially for non-tech readers. Close to 15% of the subscribers at Shards subscribe by email. At my theatre website, 99% use email.

Hey Nadim,
I don’t know if they are more worthy, but they are certainly worth considering as a major portion of our readership. They might not have the numbers that regular RSS subscribers have, but they are certainly less fickle and more likely to stick with you long term.
Thanks for your input, it is always appreciated.
