Sorry, we had some file corruption in mailman for this list only, and
of course that was the one and only system we didn't have a recent
backup of. The best I could do was delete and re-create the list, pull
email addresses out of the binary database that was partially
corrupted and mass-subscribe them all. There was no means of
differentiating digest vs. regular subscribers with what was usable in
the file, and the vast majority of people weren't digest subscribers,
so those of you who were digest subscribers no longer are. I didn't
have any other means of doing so.

Doug - not sure how your email address would have ever ended up in
this list's database if you were never subscribed. Even unsubscribed
addresses shouldn't have been there, only active subscribers. The
count added up to roughly what it was last I checked the subscriber
count a month or so ago, roughly 1500 people. The only email addresses
I subscribed were those that were in the database for this specific
list. Though thinking back, I believe you emailed this list at some
point from that address, got caught in the moderation queue as a
non-subscriber, and I whitelisted your email address so you could post
from that one (assuming you were a subscriber under another address,
and you obviously weren't a spammer). I had no means of telling what
the email addresses in the file were listed as or under, so that
scenario may have gotten caught. That's only been done for roughly a
handful of people all time, so that shouldn't have impacted very many
people if that's what happened.

Sorry for the trouble.
