I've always wondered what happens to legacy subscribers to a blog, once the author switches the feed to feedburner--vs. the usual feed provider (blogger in the case of this and my other two blogs). Well, I finally got my answer, reading through some of my stats on Google Webmaster Tools:
Webmaster Tools subscriber stats reflect known subscribers to feeds hosted on your verified domain (http://www.example.com). FeedBurner sees all requests for your feeds. If a Google user is subscribed to the FeedBurner version of your feed (for example, http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourfeed or http://feeds.example.com/yourfeed), this information will not be reflected in Webmaster Tools subscriber stats, but it will be included in your FeedBurner stats.
Guess that's all I had to hear (er...read) to feel more at ease. ^_^
