I would love to not feel so paranoid, as you put it, but the cold hard truth is that most of us on here have been screwed over by people we trusted with and all our lives. I've not quick to trust new people. Why would anyone need to know how many elders there are on an apostate site?
People are hiding here. I think it raises our suspiciouns for someone of only 111 posts to ask such prying questions of the group. Some might answer your question but most may not. It's too risky. You will never find out the true number.
It's just weird.
