That's a reasonable theory, but I'm one of the
rec.ponders who has steadfastly stayed out of
the [you-know-what-mess g]. So if someone
signed me up hoping to cause trouble for the list,
they'd simply be bored!

It may have been someone trying to cause trouble for the list but I was sure
ticked, especially being set to emails. Might have been less ticked if
they'd use digest.. Besides unsubscribing I also forwarded it to the abuse.
Maybe they'll figure it out but more likely just ignore it. Guess I agree
with Derek. A real list manager should require confirmation and the whole
thing may have been bogus 'cause I didn't get any emails before I
unsubscibed.
