The two messages that I posted about a half hour ago had been sent 
originally much earlier today. After they were sent the first time, I 
received messages from the list server telling me that they could not be 
posted because my address was not subscribed.

In fact I have been subscribed for several months, and have posted here. 
My address has not changed, and my mailer knows only that one address to 
put into my From header; I do not use a separate Reply-to header. That 
the messages bore my correct From address is clear from the fact that the 
two refusal messages arrived in my inbox. 

What I did, of course, was to subscribe again, to the same address. My new 
subscription was accepted by the list server without a peep, without a 
remark that I was already subscribed.

I have to conclude that the list server has tripped, and this is the 
second time this has happened. In all the lists that I have joined during 
the past twenty years (and the two that I have operated), I have never 
seen this to happen. Is this phenomenon known to the administrators of 
the list? Is there an explanation for it?
