Jordan,
Many people focus on Quantity vs Quality, and they spend too much time focusing on MORE names not BETTER names.
This type of discussion always makes me think of the SOI vs COI argument - so many people don't confirm so we don't do it. I've seen Stats time and time again of 80-90% opt-in confirmation rates - thus Quality names in Quantity vs straight Quantity of names.
I'd never discount the idea of more names is better - but how you interact and nurture those subscribers. Ultimately it is the idea of being an individual vs. being a number - and what you DO with the lists.
Smarter marketing to lists with segmented offers, on topic information and easy to manage preferences is the true meaning behind EmailKarma.net's slogan "It's not the size of your list, it's how you use it."
Cheers,
Matt
