Hi Donovan
This happened to me before, but Abi from Mysociety pointed out that it's
probably because someone accidentally clicked on my version of the
"Unsubscribe" link (which I must have included in a reply to the list)
rather than their own version which the list appended to the bottom of their
own email. I've no reason to believe anyone did it deliberately. I had the
same moment of concern that you must have had, having posted something to
the list shortly before, and wondering what I did to offend someone!
Best wishes
Leigh.
