Actually a lot less than you think.

For example, during March of 2003, total posts to the list were 106,836 
bytes (in mbox format; that's close enough).

These posts were sent to approximately 1,500 subscribers, for a total of 
approximately 160,254,000 (or less than 160 megabytes) of traffic.

That's with 1,500 listmembers; the new lists at qbalt.com have nowhere 
near that many members.

Lists are generally fairly low-impact ways to spread information.
