 There's no strangeness in that. I resubscribed in order to post my
general rant. Afterwards I unsubscribed again. The mail I made a
follow-up to, came i exactly one copy, even though it was CC:'ed to
me. Go figure.

 As I said, I *was* unsubscribed, be it the list maintainer, or
someone else who has the ability to fake an unsubscription in my name, 
without me getting the "you have now been terminated"-reply. I don't
care, no matter who it is, theres something rotten with the whole
outfit when such things takes place.

 I didn't.  The last mail I received on the list was from Matthia
Ettrich, with the Massage-Id <98101112283906.21410@kasparov>. Since
then - nothing.

 No matter whether others, with more controversial opinions than
myself, where censored or not, I was, and that's what count for me.
