How many technical writers are there in the world?

I could have sworn that this question has been answered or bantered about
before, but I could not find a search string to get the archives down to a
manageable chunk to surf through.....Here is the question du jour:
How many technical writers in the world???
I know that there are 20,000+ members of STC, but beyond that, how many
more do you all think that there are? How else could I find quantifiable
numbers for how many there are?
Please forward responses to this question to (or at least CC your response
to TECHWRL): michelle_nichols -at- vmedia -dot- com
This is my work e-mail address (I follow the list from my home e-mail
address) and I am doing some research for work.....
Thanks!
